title: [Combined use of TUVP and TURP for prostate cancer with bladder outlet obstruction].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate a new surgical method for the treatment of prostate cancer with bladder outlet obstruction.
  
  
  METHODS
  Forty-seven patients with prostate cancer complicated with bladder outlet obstruction were treated by combined use of transurethral electrovaporization ablation of the prostate (TUVP) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
  
  
  RESULTS
  The operations were successful, with satisfactory results and no serious complication. IPSS decreased from (26.5 +/- 4.8) pre-operatively to (8.5 +/- 2.2) post-operatively (P < 0.05); Qmax increased from (4.6 +/- 1.5) ml/s to (14.5 +/- 3.6) ml/s (P < 0.05); and PSA decreased from (58.1 +/- 7.2) microg/L to (3.6 +/- 1.8) microg/L (P < 0.01).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The combined use of TUVP and TURP is a safe and ideal method for the treatment of prostate cancer with bladder outlet obstruction.
