What is plasma electrocutting technology?

  Plasma electrosurgery (TUPKBP) is an effective treatment for prostate and early bladder tumors. The biggest problem with conventional electrosurgery in the past was the tendency to form water toxicity in patients, known as electroresection syndrome (TURS), and poor hemostasis, requiring surgeons to control the procedure to be completed in about 2 hours in general. Compared with conventional prostate electrosurgery, plasma bipolar electrosurgery uses physiological saline as the flushing solution and a dynamic plasma cutting mechanism. It has the following advantages: 1. It can prolong the operation time and avoid the occurrence of TURS.  Since saline is used as the rinse solution, the occurrence of dilutional hyponatremia is avoided, and basically no TURS occurs. Therefore, TUPKBP procedure improves surgical safety and tissue removal rate. In addition, it is less restricted by the size of the prostate volume, which relatively prolongs the surgical cutting time, extends the surgical indications, reduces the surgical risks, and facilitates more thorough removal of the enlarged prostate tissue.  2. Plasma electrosurgery shortens the recovery time of patients after surgery.  Due to the limited thermal penetration of plasma electrosurgery, there is less charring of the cut surface and less damage to the surrounding tissues, reducing postoperative bladder irritation. Since there is no heat conduction effect and no current passes through adjacent organs and tissues, there is no tissue damage, less chance of closed nerve reflexes, and less urinary irritation in patients. The postoperative flushing time and indwelling urinary catheter time are significantly shorter than those of the vaporization electrodesection group, which shortens the patient’s postoperative recovery time.  3. Less intraoperative and postoperative bleeding.  Because of the bipolar circuit and low temperature cutting, the temperature of the tissue cutting surface is only 40-70℃, plus the very limited heat transmission, electrocoagulation tissue whitening, very little charring, reducing intraoperative bleeding and postoperative joga shedding resulting in re-bleeding.  4.Improved the detection rate of incidental cancer of the prostate.  Since the surface temperature of the target tissue cut by TUBVP is 40-70°C, there is less tissue evaporation, which is beneficial to histopathological examination. Compared with prostate vaporization electrosurgery, plasma electrosurgery double ring is relatively smaller, the cut tissue is smaller and finer, and there is basically no charring on the cut surface, which makes it easier to detect incidental prostate cancer. Of course, compared to prostate vaporization, the plasma bipolar electrode ring is relatively small, so the speed of cutting is relatively slow.  In summary, transurethral resection of the prostate and transurethral plasma resection of the prostate are both safe, low complication and effective surgical methods, and are recognized as the “gold” standard for the treatment of prostate enlargement. The most important thing is that it is a good idea to have a good idea of what to expect. The actual fact is that the actual procedure is a good way to get the most out of a person’s life. It is safer and more effective than conventional prostate electrosurgery in the treatment of BPH and can be performed on patients with high-risk prostate enlargement.
