Factors Predicting The Success of Ejaculation Sparing Transurethral Resection of Prostate in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Patients

In our study, we performed an EP-TURP technique, which is adopted in our institute and involves the preservation of 1 cm of urethral mucosa all around the verumontanum, including the prostatic apical urethral mucosa, with adequate resection of the prostatic adenoma, including the apical prostatic tissue, which was resected lateral to the spared urethral mucosa to ensure adequate management of the outflow obstruction. (8). Bi-polar TURP was performed using a 26 Fr. Resectoscope (Karl Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) and Karl Storz- AUTOCON® IV. Intraoperative cystoscopic evaluation and documentation of the prostatic anatomy were done. SML was measured cystoscopically using a 22 Fr sheath with centimeter markings. Operative time, perioperative complications, catheterization duration, and hospital stay were recorded. Urethral catheter removal was planned after 24-48 hours unless prolonged catheterization was clinically indicated.
