Special technology of the Department of Urology IV: Transurethral plasma prostate enucleation

  Benign prostatic hyperplasia is an enlargement of the prostate gland in middle-aged and elderly men affected by changes in androgen levels, which compresses the urethra and causes poor urination and difficulty in urination, early weakness in urination, thinning of the urine line, increased nocturia and dripping urination. With the development of the disease, urinary retention and even hydronephrosis can occur, and in serious cases, uremia can occur. It can be complicated by bladder stones, bleeding, inguinal hernia, etc.  Treatment options: 1. Drug therapy. Finasteride, tamsulosin, etc.  2, transurethral electrodesiccation of the prostate. Suitable for mild to moderate hyperplasia of the prostate. The electrolysis syndrome and the chance of postoperative bleeding are high, and studies have shown that the average surgical resection is about 50%.  The Urology Department of the People’s Hospital of Meizhou is the first to independently carry out this advanced technology in the eastern part of Guangdong.  The enlarged prostate gland squeezes the surrounding glands into a “surgical envelope”, and transurethral plasma prostatectomy removes the enlarged gland along the gap between the “surgical envelope” and the enlarged gland in a complete spherical shape, and then shreds and removes it.  The advantages: Transurethral plasma enucleation of the prostate makes up for almost all of the flaws of electrodesection of the prostate and is very advanced: no wounds, minimally invasive, safe, adequate operating time, good surgical results, little bleeding, quick recovery, and a very low recurrence rate. The physiological saline flush, “electrodesiccation syndrome” (water toxicity) almost does not occur, the safety factor is greatly increased; applicable to huge prostate; complete removal of hyperplastic glands, complete hemostasis, less post-operative bleeding; patients recover quickly, post-operative urinary function close to reach the level of young people; theoretical recurrence rate is zero.  4, open prostatectomy traumatic, bleeding, slower recovery, now generally applicable to the huge prostate.
