Abstract in brief

  • The study compares bipolar plasma enucleation of the prostate (BPEP) with open prostatectomy for treating large benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), focusing on safety, recovery, and effectiveness.
  • Previous guidelines favored open surgery for large BPH but newer minimally invasive techniques like holmium laser and bipolar plasma enucleation have shown promise, with the latter offering faster tissue removal and better bleeding control.
  • This trial is the first prospective, medium-term study directly comparing BPEP with open surgery, concluding that BPEP is a safe and effective alternative with good surgical outcomes for large BPH cases.
