Abstract

Background: Endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP) is a safe and effective interventional option for the management of variable-sized adenomas. Purpose: To point out the safety and efficacy of needlescopic enucleation of the prostate (BNEP) in comparison with vapoenucleation of the prostate (BVEP). Materials and Methods: This is a prospective randomized trial. In all, 214 patients with variable size adenoma were randomly assigned (1:1) to either: the BNEP group (108 patients underwent Bipolar-EEP (BEEP) using a needle electrode, or a vapoenucleation one (BVEP) group (106 patients underwent BEEP using vaporization electrodes). Intra & intergroup objective and subjective outcomes were compared at different time points for 1 year. Also, all other procedure’s related events and mishaps were registered and compared. Results: The median (interquartile range (IQR)) operative time, resected tissue weight, postoperative irrigation time, and Hb drop were: 60 (50-88) Vs 80 (60 - 98) minutes, 67 (56 - 86) Vs 46 (40- 61) grams, 10 (8 - 12) Vs 12 (10 -18) hours, and 1 (0.6 - 1.3) Vs 1.2 (0.88 - 1.9) g/dl, for BNEP and BVEP groups, respectively, (P 0.5). However, the post-operative irritative symptoms and urinary infections were lower in BNEP group (P
