Summary

This trial compares two surgical procedures—bipolar enucleation of the prostate (BEEP) and bipolar TURP (bTURP)—for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with prostates larger than 80 grams. Researchers measure how much prostate tissue remains after surgery, changes in urinary symptoms, and urine flow rate. The goal is to see which technique works better and has fewer side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
two surgical procedures: bipolar enucleation of the prostate (BEEP) and bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (bTURP)
What this could lead to
If BEEP proves superior, it could become the preferred surgical option for men with very enlarged prostates, offering better symptom relief and fewer complications.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 120 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Both procedures carry risks like bleeding, infection, or urinary problems.
