Brief Summary

It has been demonstrated that sexual activity was common in the majority of men over 50 years old and was an important component of overall quality of life (QoL). Ejaculatory dysfunction (EjD) is the most common side effect of surgical treatment of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). It has been considered for decades to be an inevitable consequence of restoring micturition comfort. EjD can have a substantial deleterious effect on the QoL of men with previously maintained regular sexual activity, inducing decreased orgasmic intensity and increased levels of anxiety and depression. A better understanding of the physiology of ejaculation has enabled the emergence of modified surgical techniques that aim to preserve antegrade ejaculation. Our hypothesis is that conservation of ejaculation can be achieved by modified surgical procedures without compromising functional outcomes.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is To compare the efficacy of partial trans urethral resection of the prostate versus conventional resection of the prostate in improvement of lower urinary tract symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia at 6 months. The secondary objectives are to compare the impacts of partial prostatic endoscopic surgery versus conventional endoscopic surgery on ejaculatory function, lower urinary tract symptoms, Global sexual life, Urinary flow, complication related to the surgery and the rates of re-treatment.

Investigators use a non-inferiority comparative single blinded (patient) multicenter randomized clinical trial in two parallel groups (Conventional endoscopic prostatic surgery Vs Partial surgery preserving the prostatic apex.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of IPSS (International Prostatic Symptom Score) score at 6 months6 months after surgery

the mean IPSS score measured at 6 months, to compare the efficacy of partial endoscopic resection versus complete endoscopic resection in improvement of lower urinary tract symptoms related to BPH. IPSS scores are categorised as 'asymptomatic' (0 points), 'mildly symptomatic' (1-7 points), 'moderately symptomatic' (8-19 points), and 'severely symptomatic' (20-35 points).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of ejaculation and global sexual life1 month, 3 months, 6 months,12 months, and 36 months after surgery

DAN PPS-SEX= Danish Prostatic Symptom Score -Sexual Questions 1A And B are question about erectyl function Questions 2A, 2B, 3A and 3B are questions about ejaculatory function Questions 4A is a question about global sexual quality of life

Evaluation of complication rates1 month, 3 months, 6 months,12 months, and 36 months after surgery
