In a nutshell The authors examined the relationship between prostate size and surgical outcomes following bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate (B-TUEP). The authors found that B-TUEP provided symptom relief regardless of prostate size in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Some background BPH is the non-cancerous...

In a nutshell This study characterized the safety and effectiveness of greenlight photo-selective vaporization of the prostate (GL-PVP) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The data showed that under real-world conditions, GL-PVP provides a safe, effective, and durable BPH treatment option. Some background Lower urinary tract...

In a nutshell This study investigated the use of water vapor thermal therapy using the Rezum system as a minimally invasive treatment option for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The authors concluded that Rezum is a good minimally invasive treatment option that showed promising results for patients with BPH. Some background BPH is a...

In a nutshell This study compared water vapor thermal therapy using the Rezum system and prostatic urethral lift (PUL) in the treatment of men with urinary symptoms from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Researchers suggested that both treatments improve symptoms and the quality of life of these patients. Some background Benign prostatic...

In a nutshell This study compared the safety and effectiveness of bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate (BipoLEP) to bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (B-TURP) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The data showed that BipoLEP resulted in fewer adverse effects, complications, and faster...

In a nutshell This study compared the effectiveness and safety of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate (bTUEP), and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in medium-sized prostates. The authors concluded that all...

In a nutshell This study compared the long-term outcomes between photoselective vaporization (PSV) and open prostate surgery (OPS) for patients with an enlarged prostate. Researchers suggested that PSV is a good and safe method for the treatment of these patients. Some background Patients with an enlarged prostate have a condition called benign...

In a nutshell This study explored the use of aquablation for the removal of prostate tissue in patients with benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). The results confirmed the safe and effective use of aquablation as an intervention for BPO. Some background BPO involves the increase of the prostate gland that blocks urine flow out of the bladder. This...

In a nutshell This study compared the effectiveness and safety of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) from benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). The data showed fewer complications but lower effectiveness in improving LUTS with PAE compared to...

In a nutshell This study reviewed and compared the effectiveness of convective water vapor energy therapy (WAVE) with prostatic urethral lift (PUL) in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The data showed that WAVE treatment improved the urinary flow rate and durability of response compared to PUL treatment. Some background BPH is a...

In a nutshell This trial was carried out to look at the safety, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of holmium enucleation (HE) of the prostate and bipolar transurethral enucleation (BTE) of the prostate in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The authors found that both techniques were similarly effective, while HE had a shorter...

In a nutshell This study looked at functional outcomes of transurethral thulium laser enucleation (THU) versus bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) over 12-months. The authors found that THU may have better effects than TURP. Some background BPH is the non-cancerous increase in the size...
