Представлены клинические результаты хирургического лечения доброкачественной гиперплазии предстательной железы (ДГПЖ) объемом до 100 см3 методом биполярной трансуретральной резекции простаты (БТУР -74 пациента) в сравнении с открытой чреспузырной простатэктомией (ОПЭ - 96 пациентов), ранее применявшейся для подобных клинических случаев в урологической клинике "Железнодорожной больницы" г. Волгоград. При статистически равном операционном времени обоих хирургических методов для БТУР отмечено существенное снижение интраоперационной кровопотери, сроков послеоперационной катетеризации и пребывания в стационаре, минимальная частота геморрагических и инфекционно-воспалительных осложнений. Наблюдение за урологическим статусом пациентов в течение первого послеоперационного года показало одинаковую клиническую эффективность сравниваемых хирургических методов. Значительное снижение объема кровопотери в ходе операции БТУР можно считать большим достижением, поскольку улучшение видимости в зоне хирургического вмешательства позволяет оптимизировать гемостаз, предотвратить массивные кровотечения как во время, так и после операции, сократить сроки послеоперационной катетеризации мочевого пузыря, что в свою очередь, снижает частоту развития инфекционно-воспалительных осложнений. Более быстрое восстановление пациентов после эндоскопических операций имеет медико-социальное и экономическое значение, поскольку минимальное количество послеоперационных осложнений и сокращение сроков госпитализации позволяет существенно снизить затраты на лечение и быстрее нормализовать качество жизни пациентов. Полученные результаты демонстрируют перспективность внедрения биполярных методов эндоскопических операций для лечения ДГПЖ в хирургическую практику урологических стационаров в целях повышения безопасности оперативного лечения и экономии затрат на госпитализацию. The clinical results of surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) up to 100 cm3 by bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (BTUR - 74 patients) in comparison with open transvesical prostatectomy (OPE - 96 patients), previously used for such clinical cases in the urological clinic "Railway hospital" in Volgograd are presented. With statistically equal operating time of both surgical methods, there was a significant decrease in intraoperative blood loss, the terms of postoperative catheterization and hospital stay, the minimum frequency of hemorrhagic and infectious-inflammatory complications. Observation of the urological status of patients during the first postoperative year showed the same clinical efficacy of the compared surgical methods. A significant reduction in the volume of blood loss during the operation, can be considered a great achievement, since the improvement of visibility in the area of surgical intervention allows to optimize the hemostasis, to prevent massive bleeding during and after surgery, to reduce the duration of postoperative bladder catheterization, which, in turn, reduces the incidence of infectious-inflammatory complications. Faster recovery of patients after endoscopic surgery of medical,social and economic importance, as the minimum number of postoperative complications and reduction of hospitalization can significantly reduce the cost of treatment and quickly normalize the quality of life of patients. The results demonstrate the prospects of the introduction of bipolar methods of endoscopic surgery for the treatment of BPH in the surgical practice of urological hospitals in order to improve the safety of surgical treatment and save costs for hospitalization.

Objectives: Bladder neck contracture (BNC) is a bothersome complication following endoscopic treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The objective of our study was to give a more realistic insight into contemporary endoscopic BNC treatment and to evaluate and identify risk factors associated with inferior outcome. Material and Methods: We identified patients who underwent transurethral treatment for BNC secondary to previous endoscopic therapy for BPH between March 2009 and October 2016. Patients with vesico-urethral anastomotic stenosis after radical prostatectomy were excluded. Digital charts were reviewed for re-admissions and re-visits at our institutions and patients were contacted personally for follow-up. Our non-validated questionnaire assessed previous urologic therapies (including radiotherapy, endoscopic, and open surgery), time to eventual further therapy in case of BNC recurrence, and the modality of recurrence management. Results: Of 60 patients, 49 (82%) and 11 (18%) underwent transurethral bladder neck resection and incision, respectively. Initial BPH therapy was transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in 54 (90%) and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in six (10%) patients. Median time from prior therapy was 8.5 (IQR 5.3–14) months and differed significantly in those with (6.5 months; IQR 4–10) and those without BNC recurrence (10 months; IQR 6–20; p = 0.046). Thirty-three patients (55%) underwent initial endoscopic treatment, and 27 (45%) repeated endoscopic treatment for BNC. In initially-treated patients, time since BPH surgery differed significantly between those with a recurrence (median 7.5 months; IQR 6–9) compared to those treated successfully (median 12 months; IQR 9–25; p = 0.01). In patients with repeated treatment, median time from prior BNC therapy did not differ between those with (4.5 months; IQR 2–12) and those without a recurrence (6 months; IQR 6–10; p = 0.6). Overall, BNC treatment was successful in 32 patients (53%). The observed success rate of BNC treatment was significantly higher after HoLEP compared to TURP (100% vs. 48%; p = 0.026). Type of BNC treatment, number of BNC treatment, and age at surgery did not influence the outcome. Conclusions: A longer time interval between previous BPH therapy and subsequent BNC incidence seems to favorably affect treatment success of endoscopic BNC treatment, and transurethral resection and incision appear equally effective. Granted the relatively small sample size, BNC treatment success seems to be higher after HoLEP compared to TURP, which warrants validation in larger cohorts.
