Summary
Trigono-cervico-prostatotomy (TCP) is an effective endoscopic surgery for benign prostate hypertrophy (BHP), offering good outcomes and minimal retrograde ejaculation. This minimally invasive technique shows promise for treating lower urinary tract symptoms.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Surgical Innovation
Context:
- Benign prostate hypertrophy (BHP) affects a significant portion of the aging male population.
- Endoscopic surgical techniques are increasingly favored for prostate procedures.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of trigono-cervico-prostatotomy (TCP) for benign prostate hypertrophy (BHP).
- To assess the rate of symptom relief, reoperation, and retrograde ejaculation following TCP.
Summary:
- 102 patients underwent endoscopic TCP, primarily for BHP (<35g).
- Good results were observed in 81.4%, with symptom relief in 12.7% and a 5.8% reoperation rate.
- Retrograde ejaculation occurred in 20.6% of patients over a one-year follow-up.
Impact:
- Demonstrates the clinical utility of TCP as a viable endoscopic option for BHP.
- Highlights the importance of diagnostic tools like ultrasound, urethroscopy, and urodynamics in patient selection and outcome assessment.
- Provides valuable data on the safety and efficacy profile of TCP, informing surgical decision-making.
