[Application of resectoscope of Marberger type with cutting and vaporizing loops in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia].
One of the latest achievement in the design of tools for TUR is introduction of a new resectoscope constructed by M. Marberger. Its oval loops can remove 30% more tissue than it is made by a standard resectoscope with semicurcular loops. 203 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were operated using Marberger resectoscope, 54 BPH patients were operated using a standard resectoscope. 12-month follow up results of both TURs did not differ much. The advantage of the new tool is quicker removal of the tissue.
