Study information
Study design | A prospective, randomised, double-blinded study |
---|---|
Primary study design | Interventional |
Secondary study design | Randomised controlled trial |
Study setting(s) | Not specified |
Study type | Treatment |
Scientific title | |
Study acronym | TURP |
Study objectives | Bipolar devices will minimise the disadvantages of the monopolar device such as the risk of electrolyte disturbances by using saline irrigation, bleeding and the risk of nervous stimulation. |
Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration. |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) |
Intervention | Patients will be randomised into either: Group A: who will undergo a bipolar TURP Group B: who will undergo a monopolar TURP |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | 1. Safety bipolar TURP compared with monoploar TURP by means of transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome 2. Blood loss 3. Number and severity of adverse events |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Efficacy of bipolar TURP compared with monopolar TURP by means of IPSS or quality of life (QoL) scores 2. International index of erectile function (IIEF) score 3. Qmax 4. Cutting rate 5. Length of catherisation 6. Length of hospital stay 7. Length of operation 8. Impact on prostate specific antigen (PSA) level 9. Number of strictures |
Overall study start date | 01/07/2006 |
