The Role of Bipolar Transurethral Vaporization in the Management of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Abstract

We detected similar effectiveness and morbidity rates in both groups. Bipolar TUVP has advantages such as shorter catheter indwelling times and hospital stays, and fewer bleeding episodes without any risk of transurethral resection syndrome. We believe that TUVP might be an alternative to TURP which is currently the 'gold standard' treatment in BPH.
