A Prospective Randomized Study for Comparing Bipolar Plasmakinetic Resection of the Prostate with Standard TURP

Abstract

The main advantage of PK resection seems to be decreasing the risk of TUR syndrome, thus, larger prostates could be treated without a time limitation, theoretically. However, this technique brings no advantages in terms of intra- and postoperative bleeding, hospital stay, operation time and late complications.
