Study Overview

Brief Summary

This prospective randomized study will compare two surgical techniques for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia. Participants will be assigned to either hydrodissection-assisted bipolar prostatic enucleation-enucleoresection with transrectal ultrasound-guided subcapsular injection of diluted norepinephrine and methylene blue or conventional bipolar prostatic enucleation-enucleoresection without injection.

The injected mixture is intended to separate the enlarged prostatic tissue from the surgical capsule and reduce bleeding during surgery. The study will evaluate whether the hydrodissection-assisted technique improves operative conditions, surgical outcomes, postoperative recovery, urinary symptoms, and urinary flow compared with the conventional technique.

Inclusion Criteria

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  • Prostate volume greater than 60 cc as measured by transrectal ultrasonography.
  • Moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms, defined as an International Prostate - Symptom Score of 12 or higher.
  • Failure of or poor response to medical management.

Exclusion Criteria

  • History of prostate cancer or suspicious findings on prostate biopsy.
  • Active urinary tract infection.
  • Severe cardiovascular, pulmonary, or other systemic comorbidities that contraindicate surgery.
  • Previous prostate surgery, including transurethral resection of the prostate or open prostatectomy.
  • Chronic urinary retention associated with neurogenic bladder. Hypersensitivity to norepinephrine or methylene blue.

Arms & Interventions

Hydrodissection-Assisted Bipolar Prostatic Enucleation-Enucleoresection

Experimental

Participants will undergo transrectal ultrasound-guided subcapsular injection of a diluted norepinephrine-methylene blue mixture to produce hydrodissection between the prostatic adenoma and surgical capsule, followed by bipolar prostatic enucleation-enucleoresection. Standard postoperative bladder irrigation, catheter management, and follow-up will be provided.

Intervention: Hydrodissection-Assisted Bipolar Prostatic Enucleation-Enucleoresection (Procedure)

Conventional Bipolar Prostatic Enucleation-Enucleoresection

Active Comparator

Participants will undergo conventional bipolar prostatic enucleation-enucleoresection without subcapsular injection or hydrodissection. Standard postoperative bladder irrigation, catheter management, and follow-up will be provided.

Intervention: Conventional Bipolar Prostatic Enucleation-Enucleoresection (Procedure)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Intraoperative Blood Loss

Time Frame: Intraoperatively

The estimated volume of blood lost during the operative procedure will be recorded in milliliters and compared between the hydrodissection-assisted and conventional groups.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Operative Time(Intraoperatively)
  • Enucleated Prostatic Tissue Weight(Immediately after tissue retrieval, intraoperatively)
  • Length of Hospital Stay(From completion of surgery until hospital discharge, assessed up to 7 days)
  • Urethral Catheterization Duration(From completion of surgery until catheter removal, assessed up to 7 days)
  • Change in Maximum Urinary Flow Rate(At baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery)
  • Change in Post-Void Residual Urine Volume(At baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery)
  • Change in International Prostate Symptom Score(At baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery)
  • Incidence of Postoperative Complications(At 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery)
  • Incidence of Intraoperative Complications(Intraoperatively)
