Ejaculation-Preserving Versus Standard Bipolar TUEP for BPH
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, Benign Prostatic Obstruction
In brief
This prospective randomized controlled trial will compare ejaculation-preserving bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate with standard bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate in sexually active men with benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptoms after failed medical treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to either ejaculation-preserving B-TUEP or standard B-TUEP. The study will evaluate preservation of ejaculatory function, erectile function, urinary symptom improvement, uroflowmetry outcomes, post-void residual urine, perioperative complications, and need for retreatment during follow-up.
