ObjectiveTo analyze the effects of unipolar and bipolar transurethral resection of prostate (TRUP) on patients’ urination and erection. MethodsA total of 140 patients with prostatic hyperplasia were selected, and were divided into unipolar group and bipolar group according to the different treatment methods, with 70 cases in each group. The unipolar group and bipolar group received unipolar TRUP and bipolar TRUP respectively. The prostatic symptoms score after treatment were recorded in both groups. The urination function after 3 months of operation and erectile function after 6 months of operation were observed in both groups. ResultsAfter treatment, the prostatic symptoms score of the bipolar group was significantly lower than that of the unipolar group［(8.1±1.3)points vs. (10.5±2.1)points, P＜0.05］. After 3 months of treatment, the total effective rate of the urination function in the bipolar group was significantly higher than that of the unipolar group［91.43% (64/70) vs. 78.57% (55/70)］. At 6 months after the treatment, the total effective rate for erectile function in the bipolar group was was significantly higher than that of the unipolar group ［85.71% (60/70)vs.71.43% (50/70); P＜0.05］. ConclusionCompared with the traditional unipolar transurethral TRUP, bipolar transurethral TRUP, can obtain better efficacy for the recovery of urination and erection in patients with prostatic hyperplasia.
