Transurethral Incision Compared With Transurethral Resection of the Prostate for Bladder Outlet Obstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Abstract: In the first 12 months after surgery transurethral prostatic incision has effectiveness that is equivalent to transurethral prostatic resection for treating patients with suspected benign prostatic obstruction who have a relatively small prostate. However, there is little evidence on the relative long-term effectiveness of the 2 treatments 2 to 5 or 10 years after surgery. There is no clear cutoff point for prostate size that leads to good results after transurethral prostatic incision. A large-scale, multicen… Show more

“…46,47 The advantages of transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) are reduced bleeding with no need for postoperative irrigation and shortened catheterisation time together with a lower risk of developing retrograde ejaculation. 47 The disadvantage is that no prostatic tissue is removed leading to a high rate of symptom recurrence and need for further surgery. 51 These characteristics were improved by passing the Nd:YAG-generated beam through a potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) crystal, which doubles the frequency and halves the wavelength.…”

“…2 However, TUIP has significantly shorter operative time and hospital stay than TURP. [11][12][13][14] Nevertheless, there is little evidence on long-term effectiveness and there is no clear cutoff prostate size that achieves long-term favourable outcomes after TUIP.…”
