摘要

In the current guidelines endoscopic prostate enucleation (EEP) is together with an open prostatectomy the first choice of treatment for large prostates. It leads to a more complete resection in the smaller prostates. From the introduction in our hospital in April 2017 to May 2022, all 401 patients undergoing a bipolar EEP (B-TUEP) were included. Indications were urinary retention (60%) or lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS, 37%). The preoperative median prostate volume was 100 ml (35–325). Main complications were urinary tract infection (n = 66), bleeding with the need of coagulation (n = 5) and stricture (n = 8). At the six month follow up, 70% reported no LUTS. 93% of the patients reported that urination had (very) much improved after surgery. No one had an indwelling catheter. Prostate enucleation is safe and effective in treating patients with a large prostate with good effect on their symptoms.
