A Prospective Comparative Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Transurethral Thulium Fiber Laser, Holmium Laser and Bipolar Enucleation of Large Sized Prostate

3. juni 2026 oppdatert av: Abdullah Salah Al Debeiky, Tanta University
This study compares the safety and efficacy of three endoscopic enucleation techniques for large prostates (>100 mL) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): Thulium Fiber Laser Enucleation (ThuFLEP), Holmium Laser Enucleation (HoLEP), and Bipolar Enucleation (B-TUEP). Ninety male patients with severe lower urinary tract symptoms (IPSS ≥20, Qmax ≤10 mL/s) who failed medical therapy will be randomized 1:1:1 into three groups of 30. Primary outcomes include IPSS, quality of life score, maximum flow rate (Qmax), and post-void residual at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Secondary outcomes include operative time, enucleation efficiency, blood loss, catheterization duration, hospital stay, and complication rates assessed by the Clavien-Dindo classification.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a progressive condition causing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) that significantly impairs quality of life in aging men. While medical therapy with alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors represents first-line management, surgical intervention becomes necessary when symptoms are severe or complications arise.

Anatomical endoscopic enucleation of the prostate has emerged as the size-independent gold standard surgical approach. This prospective randomized controlled trial will be conducted at the Urology Department, Tanta University Hospital (October 2025 - October 2027) following IRB approval (Code: 36265MD479/10/25).

Patients will undergo preoperative evaluation including IPSS, QoL index, IIEF-5, uroflowmetry, transrectal ultrasound, PSA, CBC, coagulation profile, and renal/liver function tests. Intraoperative data will include total operative time, enucleation time, morcellation time, enucleation efficiency (g/min), and estimated blood loss. Postoperative follow-up at 1, 3, and 6 months will assess IPSS, QoL, IIEF-5, Qmax, and post-void residual. Complications will be graded using the Clavien-Dindo classification. Randomization will use the sealed opaque envelope method with 1:1:1 allocation.
