Effects of transurethral 0bipolar plasma prostatectomy on urodynamics and sexual function in patients with prostatic hyperplasia

Abstract

This was an original article, and the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of bipolar transurethral plasma kinetic prostatectomy (TUPKP) on urodynamics and sexual function in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients. One hundred and four BPH patients were divided into a control group and an intervention group. The control group received transurethral resection of prostate, while the intervention group received TUKEP. Relative to the control group, the intervention group presented less intraoperative blood loss and shorter bladder irrigation time, catheter retention time, and shorter hospital stay. Three months after surgery, the improvements of maximum urine flow rate (Qmax), pressure-flow rate (A-G) and residual urine volume (RV) in intervention group were more obvious than control group. One month after surgery, relative to control group, the intervention group had lower C-reactive protein (CRP), epinephrine (E) along with cortisol (Cor), cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels. On day 7 after surgery, PSA, EGF, and PGE2 levels in the intervention group were lower when compared to the control group. We conclude that TUKEP can diminish intraoperative blood loss, promote postoperative recovery, improve postoperative urodynamics and sexual function, and improve prognosis of BPH patients.
