Monopolar transurethral resection of prostate (M-TURP) is considered the gold standard for the management of bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Its newly introduced modification, bipolar TURP (B-TURP), promises to ...

In this present, multicentre, Canadian, single blind randomized controlled trial (RCT), the authors compare the outcomes of B-TURP and M-TURP in 43 men with a follow-up of 6 months. 7 No significant differences in operative time or mean resection time were observed between the …

Monopolar current is used in standard TURP, with different cutting and coagulation programs comparable to open surgery. The coagulation effect is produced by the current flow from the resection loop through the prostate tissue to the return electrode.

Dec 3, 2019 · Background: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a well-established surgical method for treatment of men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). This has traditionally been provided as monopolar TURP (MTURP), but morbidity associated with MTURP has led to the introduction of other ...

Our results show that there was no TUR syndrome or intraoperative death in 62 patients who had prostate greater than 80 mL and underwent monopolar TURP. In our opinion, prostate limit for TURP depends on the surgeon's experience and resection speed.

Jan 1, 2018 · Monopolar transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is the primary surgical treatment option for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Herein, perioperative considerations, surgical techniques, and complications associated with monopolar TURP are reviewed.

Monopolar TURP demonstrates significant improvements in IPSS, peak flow rate (Qmax), and quality of life (QoL) with durable (8 year-22 year) outcomes. Secondary intervention increases by 1%-2% annually. Thirty-day mortality rate is low (0.1%) …

Context: Incorporation of bipolar technology in transurethral resection (TUR) of the prostate (TURP) potentially offers advantages over monopolar TURP (M-TURP).

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a well-established surgical method for treatment of men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). This has traditionally been provided as monopolar TURP (MTURP), but morbidity associated with MTURP has led to the introduction of other surgical ...

Objective: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the commonest surgical procedure for the treat-ment of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). Bipolar-TURP (BTURP) is being increasingly used as compared to the long-established Monopolar TURP (MTURP). In this systematic review, we compared the outcomes of BTURP vs MTURP.
