Influence of prostate size on the perioperative and postoperative outcome of transurethral plasmakinetic enucleation of the prostate: Results of 892 patients with 3 years of follow-up.
Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences 2018 October
To explore the influence of prostate size on the outcome of Plasmakinetic enucleation of the prostate (PkEP) for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), The data of 892 patients with symptomatic BPH who underwent PkEP were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 199 (22.31%) had the prostate size smaller than 40 g (Group 1), 409 (45.85%) between 40 and 79 g (Group 2), 197 (22.09%) between 80 and 120 g (Group 3), and 87 (9.75%) larger than 120 g (Group 4). Perioperative variables, perioperative and postoperative complications were recorded. Patients were followed up for 36 months postoperatively. The efficiency of the surgery increased as the prostate size increased. Greater decreases in hemoglobin were noted in groups with larger prostates, while the duration of catheterization after the operation was similar across all groups. During the 3-year follow-up, the postoperative improvement in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Quality of Life (QOL), maximal flow rate (Qmax) and post-void residual urine volume (PVR), as well as longterm complications including urethral stricture and bladder-neck contracture were comparable across the 4 groups. These findings revealed that PkEP is more efficient for large prostate and can treat all prostates regardless of the size with equivalent symptom relief and micturition improvement.
