Ejaculation-Preserving Versus Standard Bipolar TUEP for BPH

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Ejaculation-Preserving Bipolar Transurethral Enucleation of the Prostate: Ejaculation-preserving bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate will be performed with preservation of the paracollicular tissue, the area approximately 1 cm proximal to the verumontanum, and bladder neck fibers, while avoiding deep enucleation behind the verumontanum.

Standard Bipolar Transurethral Enucleation of the Prostate: Standard bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate will be performed according to the conventional surgical technique without preservation of the paracollicular tissue and the area approximately 1 cm proximal to the verumontanum.

Study summary

This prospective randomized controlled trial will compare ejaculation-preserving bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate with standard bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate in sexually active men with benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptoms after failed medical treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to either ejaculation-preserving B-TUEP or standard B-TUEP. The study will evaluate preservation of ejaculatory function, erectile function, urinary symptom improvement, uroflowmetry outcomes, post-void residual urine, perioperative complications, and need for retreatment during follow-up.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Change in Male Sexual Health Questionnaire Ejaculatory Dysfunction Short Form Function Score From Baseline to 6 Months — Baseline and 6 months postoperatively
  Ejaculatory function will be assessed using the Male Sexual Health Questionnaire Ejaculatory Dysfunction Short Form function score. The function score is based on three ejaculatory function items assessing ejaculation frequency, ejaculation force, and ejaculation volume. The total function score ranges from 1 to 15, with higher scores indicating better ejaculatory function. The outcome will be calculated as the 6-month postoperative score minus the baseline score. A smaller decrease or a positive change indicates better preservation of ejaculatory function.
