Bipolar TURIS Resection of Large Prostates: The Experience of Our Team

Bipolar TURIS resection of the prostate is a well-established method, used over the past two decades for the surgical therapy of benign prostate hyperplasia. According to the EAU guidelines it is best to be applied to prostate volumes from 30 to 80 cc and it is second choice for prostate volumes over 80cc. A retrospective study was conducted on 114 patients that underwent B-TURIS in a period of 5 years, with a prostate gland volume from 80 to 170 cc, performed by our team. Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bipolar TURis in patients with high-volume prostates. Herein, we present the results of our review. The procedure was successful as far as both the prostate volume reduction and the symptom score (IPSS) improvement as well. Besides, we have not marked any complications, apart from 1 patient that suffered from urinary tract infection after the operation.
