Clinical effect of transurethral plasmakentic vaporization of prostate on the treatment of high risk benign prostate hypertrophy

Objective To compare the effect of transurethral plasmakentic vaporization of prostate(TUP-KVP) on the treatment of high risk benign prostate hypertrophy(BPH).Methods All of 224 elderly patients with high risk BPH were treated by TUP-KVP and transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP),respectively 112 cases.Results The operation time,blood loss during operation in TUP-KVP group were significantly lower than those in TURP group,and IPSS score,urudynamic investigation in TUP-KVP group were significantly better than those in TURP group(P 0.05).The incidence of complications in TUP-KVP group was significantly lower than that in TURP group(P 0.05).Conclusion TUP-KVP has the merits of total prostatectomy,short operation time and less blood loss during operation and complications,so it can be used as an ideal operational manner for the treatment of high risk BPH.
