Conditions

Benign Prostate Hypertrophy(BPH), LUTS(Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Brief summary

Endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP) is a standard treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), with modifications such as MiLEP that utilizes smaller instruments. The reduced resectoscope diameter in MiLEP may help decrease rates of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urethral strictures. Objective: to compare the efficacy and safety of MiLEP and standard EEP with a thulium fiber laser (TFL).

Interventions

PROCEDUREStandard endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP)

Stabdard EEP will be nerformed using 26 Ch resectoscope. Enucleation will be performed using an en bloc no-touch technique with early apical release.

PROCEDUREMiLEP

Minimally-invasive laser EEP will be nerformed using 22 Ch resectoscope. Enucleation will be performed using an en bloc no-touch technique with early apical release.
