About this trial

This prospective randomized study will compare two surgical techniques for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. Participants will be assigned to either hydrodissection-assisted bipolar prostatic enucleation-enucleoresection with transrectal ultrasound-guided subcapsular injection of diluted norepinephrine and methylene blue or conventional bipolar prostatic enucleation-enucleoresection without injection.

The injected mixture is intended to separate the enlarged prostatic tissue from the surgical capsule and reduce bleeding during surgery. The study will evaluate whether the hydrodissection-assisted technique improves operative conditions, surgical outcomes, postoperative recovery, urinary symptoms, and urinary flow compared with the conventional technique.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Prostate volume greater than 60 cc as measured by transrectal ultrasonography.

Moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms, defined as an International Prostate - Symptom Score of 12 or higher.

Failure of or poor response to medical management.

Disqualifiers

History of prostate cancer or suspicious findings on prostate biopsy.

Active urinary tract infection.

Severe cardiovascular, pulmonary, or other systemic comorbidities that contraindicate surgery.

Previous prostate surgery, including transurethral resection of the prostate or open prostatectomy.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Hydrodissection-Assisted Bipolar Prostatic Enucleation-Enucleoresection

    Procedure/Surgery

    Transrectal ultrasound-guided subcapsular injection will be used to create a hydrodissection plane between the prostatic adenoma and capsule before bipolar enucleation-enucleoresection.

  • Conventional Bipolar Prostatic Enucleation-Enucleoresection

    Procedure/Surgery

    Participants will undergo conventional bipolar prostatic enucleation-enucleoresection without subcapsular injection or hydrodissection.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Intraoperative Blood Loss

The estimated volume of blood lost during the operative procedure will be recorded in milliliters and compared between the hydrodissection-assisted and conventional groups.

Time frame
Intraoperatively

Secondary outcomes

1

Operative Time

Operative time will be measured in minutes from insertion of the resectoscope until completion of urethral catheter placement.

Time frame
Intraoperatively
2

Enucleated Prostatic Tissue Weight

The removed prostatic adenomatous tissue will be weighed in grams.

Time frame
Immediately after tissue retrieval, intraoperatively
3

Length of Hospital Stay

The duration of hospitalization will be measured in hours from completion of surgery until hospital discharge.

Time frame
From completion of surgery until hospital discharge, assessed up to 7 days
4

Urethral Catheterization Duration

The duration of postoperative urethral catheterization will be measured in hours from catheter placement at the end of surgery until catheter removal.

Time frame
From completion of surgery until catheter removal, assessed up to 7 days
