Abstract

The article presents the results of surgical treatment of 555 patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) using two different methods. Of these, 301 patients underwent bipolar Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (b-TURP), and 254 underwent transurethral enucleation with a thulium laser (ThuLEP). The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ThuLEP compared with b-TURP. After 6 months of observation after ThuLEP, the indicators on the IPSS, QoL, and PVR scales were significantly better compared to b-TURP, the Qmax parameters did not differ.
