title: [Transurethral bipolar plasmakinetic prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the effect and complications of transurethral plasmakinetic prostatectomy (TUPKP) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
  
  
  METHODS
  All 313 patients underwent TUPKP, and the operative indexes and perioperative blood indexes were recorded. After operation, 290, 288 and 142 cases of BPH were followed up at 1 month, 3 months and 1 year respectively. Qmax, IPSS and QOL were measured in all the catamneses.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The operative time was (51 +/- 22) min; the mount of blood loss was (66 +/- 60) ml; no TURS occurred in any cases. The mean catheterization time was (11 +/- 10) h and the mean postoperative stay was (3.6 +/- 1.3) d. Qmax increased from (9.0 +/- 4.4) ml/s to (20.5 +/- 7.1) ml/s at 1 month, (21.8 +/- 5.4) ml/s at 3 months and (21.4 +/- 6.6) ml/s at 1 year after operation (P < 0.01). Correspondingly, IPSS decreased from (26.2 +/- 5.1) score to (6.0 +/- 9.0) score, (5.6 +/- 0.8) score and (4.4 +/- 2.7) score (P < 0.01), and the QOL of all the catamneses significantly improved.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  TUPKP, a safe and effective method with fewer complications, can be recommended for the treatment of BPH.
