The Study of Bipolar Transurethral Resection Efficiency of Medium- and Small-Sized Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

The aim of the investigation is to study the efficiency and prove the choice of bipolar transurethral resection if there are indications for medium-sized benign prostatic hyperplasia surgical treatment.

Materials and Methods. The research was based on the comparative analysis of surgical results of 244 patients by bipolar (n=122) and monopolar (n=122) transurethral resection, the size of prostatic hyperplasia being 40–80 cm³.

Conclusion. The obtained results of surgical treatment of patients operated by the bipolar transurethral resection technique prove the efficiency of the endoscopic method and make the choice of the technique preferable in case of medium-sized benign prostatic hyperplasia.
