title: [Transurethral electroenucleation of benign prostatic hyperplasia].
abstract: Currently, the choice of treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) remains one of the most pressing issues of Urology. The study explored the potentials of monopolar electroenucleation of BPH using a monopolar electrode-pusher and standard equipment for transurethral resection. From January to May 2013, 38 patients with infravesical obstruction caused by large BPH underwent transurethral monopolar electroenucleation. The control group (n = 44) consisted of patients who underwent the traditional monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate of the same size. All patients underwent an identical complex of clinical laboratory tests in the preoperative period and 1, 6 and 12 months after surgery. The technical features of the new technique are presented, intraoperative complications are assessed, early and late results and complications are evaluated. It has been established that one of the significant advantages of this method is the ability to remove significant amounts of adenomatous tissue with low risk of bleeding complications.
