Plasmakinetic resection technology for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia: evidence from a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to compare plasmakinetic resection of the prostate (PKRP) with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in terms of efficacy and safety. Published RCTs were searched from PubMed, Embase, Science Citation Index, and Cochrane Library up to April 10, 2014. After methodological quality assessment and data extraction, meta-analysis was performed using the STATA 12.0 software. 18 reports of 16 RCTs were included in this analysis. Meta-analyses showed that PKRP significantly improved Qmax at 12 months, but no significant difference was found for other efficacy outcomes. In terms of safety, treatment of PKRP was associated with reduced drop in serum sodium, lower TUR syndrome, reduced need of blood transfusion, clot retention, and shorter catheterization time and hospital stay; in contrast, there were no significant differences in the analysis of operative time, postoperative fever, and long-term postoperative complications. In summary, current evidence suggests that, although PKRP and TURP are both effective for BPH, PKRP is associated with additional potential benefits in efficacy and more favorable safety profile. It may be possible that PKRP may replace the TURP in the future and become a new standard surgical procedure.

Project description:ContextSurgical treatment is important for male lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) management, but there are few reviews of the risks of reoperation.ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the current evidence regarding the reoperation rates of surgical treatment for LUTS in accordance with current recommendations and guidelines.Evidence acquisitionEligible studies published up to July 2023, were searched for in the PubMed® (National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD, USA), Embase® (Elsevier, Amsterdam, the Netherlands), and Web of Science™ (Clarivate™, Philadelphia, PA, USA) databases. STATA® (StataCorp LP, College Station, TX, USA) software was used to conduct the meta-analysis. Random-effects models were used to calculate the pooled incidences (PIs) of reoperation and the 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Evidence synthesisA total of 119 studies with 130,106 patients were included. The reoperation rate of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years was 4.0%, 5.0%, 6.0%, and 7.7%, respectively. The reoperation rate of plasma kinetic loop resection of the prostate (PKRP) at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years was 3.5%, 3.6%, 5.7%, and 6.6%, respectively. The reoperation rate of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years was 2.4%, 3.3%, 5.4%, and 6.6%, respectively. The reoperation rate of photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years was 3.3%, 4.1%, 6.7%, and 7.1%, respectively. The reoperation rate of surgery with AquaBeam® at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years was 2.6%, 3.1%, 3.0%, and 4.1%, respectively. The reoperation rate of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years was 12.2%, 20.0%, 26.4%, and 23.8%, respectively. The reoperation rate of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years was 9.9%, 19.9%, 23.3%, and 31.2%, respectively. The reoperation rate of transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) at 5 years was 13.4%. The reoperation rate of open prostatectomy (OP) at 1 and 5 years was 1.3% and 4.4%, respectively. The reoperation rate of thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP) at 1, 2, and 5 years was 3.7%, 7.7%, and 8.4%, respectively.ConclusionOur results summarized the reoperation rates of 10 surgical procedures over follow-up durations of 1, 2, 3, and 5 years, which could provide reference for urologists and LUTS patients.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO, identifier CRD42023445780.

Project description:ContextRecently, prostatic urethral lift (PUL) is being used to treat lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Although preliminary clinical studies on PUL are increasing, the long-term efficacy and safety of this procedure are still not well evaluated.ObjectiveThe objective of our study is to synthesize the existing literature evidence, and make a comprehensive and long-term systematic review for the PUL procedure.Evidence acquisitionA systematic search was performed from the electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, and OVID. The search period was up to January 1, 2020. Comprehensive retrospective and prospective studies on PUL were collected in accordance with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Pooled prostatic symptom scores, sexual health scores, and functional outcomes were calculated by using a fixed or random-effect model.Evidence synthesisNineteen articles meet our determined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and 11 independent patient series were included in the final analysis. Meta-analysis results indicated improvement after the PUL procedure, including International Prostate Symptom Score improvement of 9.73-12.16 points, BPH Impact Index improvement of 3.74-4.50 points, maximum flow rate improvement of 3.44-4.26 ml/s, and quality of life improvement of 2.20-2.55 points. Postvoid residual volume at most of the intervals was not significantly variable. Data regarding sexual function remained stable or improved slightly during the 24-mo follow-up period. Pooled estimates were largely heterogeneous except for sexual function.ConclusionsPUL can continue to relieve prostatic symptoms for 24 mo without causing serious complications. The extremely important advantage of the PUL procedure is that it can preserve or slightly improve sexual function. Longer-term and more comprehensive clinical trials are still needed to further clarify the functional outcomes and cost effectiveness of PUL.Patient summaryProstatic urethral lift is an attractive option for selected patients who seek rapid and durable relief of lower urinary tract symptoms with complete preservation of sexual function.

Project description:The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the association of metabolic syndrome (MS) with measures of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) including prostate growth rate, prostate volume, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, and maximal flow rate.Medline, Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE, CBM, and Google Scholar databases were searched until March 23, 2015 using combinations of the keywords benign prostate hyperplasia/BPH, metabolic syndrome, total prostate volume, prostate growth rate, prostate specific antigen, International Prostate Symptom Score/IPSS, maximal flow rate. Cohort or case-control studies of patients with BPH and MS that reported quantitative outcomes were included. The pooled mean differences of the outcome measures were compared between patients with and without MS.A total of 158 potentially relevant studies were identified, and 8 were included in the meta-analysis. The 8 studies included in the meta-analysis contained a total of 3093 BPH patients, wherein 1241 had MS and 1852 did not have MS. BPH patients with MS had a significantly higher prostate growth rate (pooled mean difference?=?0.67?mL/y, P?<?0.001) and larger prostate volume (pooled mean difference?=?6.8?mL, P?=?0.010) than the BPH patients without MS. There was no significant difference in IPSS score (pooled mean difference?=?1.58, P?=?0.202) or maximal flow rate (pooled mean difference?=?-1.41?mL/s, P?=?.345) between BPH patients with and without MS. A borderline nonsignificant difference in PSA (pooled mean difference?=?0.24?ng/mL, P?=?0.056) was noted between BPH patients with and without MS.The results of this meta-analysis are consistent with literature indicating that BPH patients with MS have a higher prostate growth rate and larger prostate volume than those without MS; however, further study is necessary to determine the association of BPH and metabolic disorder elements and the potential risk of disease progression in BPH patients with MS.
