The use of vesical irrigation system dual pump Endo FMS urology in the endoscopic therapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
OBJECTIVE
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains the reference standard treatment in the management of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The objective of this study was to determine whether vesical irrigation during TURP with the dual pump system Endo FMS Urology is more efficient than standard gravity irrigation.


METHODS
A group of 30 patients who underwent TURP using the Endo FMS Urology was compared to a group of 30 patients treated with standard vesical irrigation.


RESULTS
A 40% decrease of fluid irrigated, a 10% decrease of time for procedure and a 10% increase in the volume of the resected tissue was observed in patients treated with the Endo FMS Urology compared to controls treated with standard vesical irrigation.
