An interventional study of bTURP and BEEP in Benign Prostate Hypertrophy(BPH), sponsored by Ain Shams University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to male participants aged 40 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-31.
Sponsored by Ain Shams University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Bipolar enucleation of the prostate (BEEP) was introduced to treat patients with large prostate. The study compared the functional outcomes and perioperative complications of bipolar TURP and bipolar enucleation of large prostates above 80 gm.
Recent literature suggests that enucleation techniques may provide superior functional results, reduced bleeding, and lower retreatment rates. Nevertheless, there remains limited high-quality randomized controlled data directly comparing bipolar TURP and bipolar enucleation of prostate as a head to head comparison regarding functional outcomes and peri-operative complications.
In this study, a randomized controlled trial was performed to compare bipolar enucleation of the prostate versus bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate in BPH regarding symptoms relief, residual adenoma, urine flow rate and post-operative morbidity.

change in international prostate symptoms score
The international prostate symptoms score is a patient-completed questionnaire for standardized assessment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). It includes seven questions that evaluate the following urinary symptoms: * Weak urinary stream (0 : 5) * Incomplete bladder emptying (0 : 5) * Straining during urination (0 : 5) * Intermittent urine flow (0 : 5) * Increased urinary frequency (0 : 5) * Urgency (0 : 5) * Nocturia (0 : 5) Grade 1 (score = 0 - 7) : Mild LUTS Grade 2 (score = 8 - 19) : Moderate LUTS Grade 3 (score = 20 - 35) : Severe LUTS
Time frame: pre-operative, one, three, six and twelve months postoperative
change in maximum urine flow rate(Q max)
Maximum urine flow rate was evaluated by Uroflowmetry
Time frame: pre-operative, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperative
change in post voiding residual urine
post voiding residual urine in bladder was evaluated by Trans-abdominal ultrasound
Time frame: pre-operative, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperative
operation time
Operation time was calculated from insertion of the cystoscope/resectoscope into the urethra to final removal of the scope
Time frame: during operation
