[Combined use of TUVP and TURP for treating BPH (report of 179 cases)].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate a new operation method for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH).


METHODS
One hundred and seventy-nine patients with BPH were treated by the combined use of transurethral electrovaporization ablation of the prostate(TUVP) and transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP).


RESULTS
The procedure was successful and the results were satisfactory, with little bleeding and no serious complication. IPSS decreased from 29.0 preoperatively to 7.6 postoperatively (P < 0.05) and Qmax increased from 5.8 ml/s preoperatively to 14.8 ml/s postoperatively(P < 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
The combined use of TUVP and TURP is a safe, effective and ideal method for the treatment of BPH.
