One of the technical modifications of TURP is the bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (B-TURP) which enables urologists to use normal saline solution as an irrigation fluid to overcome the risk of TUR syndrome occurrence and requires less energy.\n\nCurrently bipolar TURP is considered a valid alternative to monopolar TURP offering similar efficacy with lower peri-operative morbidity.\n\nMoreover, the bipolar system can also be used to enucleate entire large prostate glands, achieving an effective alternative to TURP and open simple prostatectomy (OP), and reducing complications associated with these techniques, including risk of bleeding and blood transfusion.\n\nThe crux of the idea behind enucleation is that it depends on removing the prostatic tissue along the surgical capsule as in open prostatectomy, but in a minimally invasive setting, with the same tissue removal capability.\n\nDespite a growing amount of data reported in the literature, it remains unclear how PKEP compares to more established B-TURP in the surgical treatment of BPH\n\nThe aim of the study is to assess the surgical efficacy, safety, and peri-operative morbidity of bipolar plasmakinetic enucleation of the prostate (PKEP) in comparison with bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (B-TURP) for the treatment of patients with symptomatizing prostates.\n\nA prospective randomized controlled study was conducted in 52 patients diagnosed with lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) whose prostates \\> 60 gm.
