Comparison of Different Energy Sources During TUR-P
Comparison of Different Energy Sources During TUR-P
With this study, it is aimed to compare the operative results and complication rates in
 transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) performed by resectoscopes with two different
 bipolar and a monopolar energy sources.
Following data will be collected and evaluated prospectively for the three groups of patients
 who will undergo TUR-P due to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) with one of the resectoscopes
 using different energy sources:

 1. Preoperative data: age, height, weight, body-mass index, concomitant morbidities, use of
 any drug, history of operation, duration of lower urinary tract symptoms, history of any
 previous treatment taken for BPH, serum level of prostate specific antigen, prostate
 volume, maximum and average urine flow rate, postmicturation residual urine volume,
 hemoglobin level

 2. Operative data: duration of operation, volume of resected tissue, observation of
 obturator reflex (if any), kind and size of the urethral catheter used

 3. Postoperative data: time to removal of urethral catheter, hospitalization duration,
 change in hemoglobin, rate of blood transfusion, any other complications
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Having an indication due to BPH

 -  Aged between 40 and 80 years old

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Kidney failure due to BPH

 -  Any kind of coagulopathy or use of anticoagulants in the preoperative period

 -  History of any previous open or endoscopic prostate surgery
