Listen "BJUI/BURST - Randomised trial of HoLEP vs ThuLEP vs bipolar enucleation of large size prostate"

Episode Synopsis

In this podcast Dr Sasha Vereecken describes and evaluates the randomised trial of holmium laser vs thulium laser vs bipolar enucleation of large prostate gland.
(https://bjui-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bju.16174)

The aim of the trial is to compare the outcome and morbidity of bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate (B-TUEP) and thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP) with those of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in the treatment of large symptomatic benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) through a non-inferiority randomised controlled trial (NCT03916536).
