Comparative Analysis of Three Surgical Instruments in the Treatment of High Critical Enucleation of Prostate.

OBJECTIVE

We conducted a study to assess the effectiveness and safety of three different surgical instruments for enucleation in treating high-risk benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). These instruments include red laser, green laser, and plasma surgical equipment for enucleation of the prostate.

METHOD

In a retrospective analysis, 237 patients diagnosed with high-risk benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) underwent prostate enucleation using three different groups of surgical instruments at the Department of Urology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University. These groups included the red laser device group (n = 67), the green laser device group (n = 61), and the plasma device group (n = 109). The study evaluated changes in prostate mass, blood loss, operation time, and postoperative efficacy at 1- and 6-month intervals, as well as any associated complications.

RESULTS

The red and green laser surgical instrument groups demonstrated superiority over the plasma group in several aspects. (1) Operation Time: 1 Red laser group: 87.9 ± 14.7 minutes; 1 Green laser group: 86.1 ± 15.3 minutes. (2) Blood Loss: 1 Red laser group: 30.1 ± 5.9 mL; 2Green laser group: 30.9 ± 6.1 mL. (3) Temporary Urinary Incontinence: 1Red laser group: 3 cases (4.48%); 2Green laser group: 2 cases (3.28%). These differences were statistically significant. Additionally, postoperative indicators such as IPSS(International Prostate Prostate Symptom Score), QoL(Quality of Life), Q max(The Maximum Flow Rate), and RUV(Residual Urine Volume) showed significant improvement in all three groups compared to the preoperative state.

CONCLUSION

Red laser, green laser and plasma surgical devices were safe and effective in the treatment of high critical benign prostatic hyperplasia; laser surgical devices showed better performance in terms of operation time, intraoperative bleeding and complications.
