Summary

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is still the gold standard for surgical management of enlarged prostate. However, many techniques and minimally invasive procedures are now in the comparative track with Bipolar resection as Laser enucleation. Multiple drawbacks of Classic TURP problems related to large prostate management as the retreatment after Bipolar resection, another issue that prolonged operative time, Loss of orientation during resection due to rotation of one of the 2 kissing lobe, Bleeding of the 1st lobe resection side make the 2nd lobe resection harder and lengthier, Median lobe resection or bladder neck resection is done at last to avoid sub-trigonal injury. however, due to median lobe obstruction, irrigation is poor during all the resection. length of learning curve, the modification of early median lobe resection carry the risk of sub-trigonal injury. So, this study is a trial to analyze the effect of new technique in resection of large prostate with good orientation and less time of operation.

Conditions

• TURP(Transurethral Resection of Prostate)
• BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)
• Prostate

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Nesbit technique	it is composed of development of trough at the right prostatic lobe (at 10 o'clock) from the bladder neck proximally down to a level just above the external urethral sphincter distally, then deepening the trough until the prostatic capsule, performing haemostasias then resection of lateral lobes in halves, upper right, lower right, upper left and at last lower left respectively with haemostasias in-between. Then resection of the median lobe if present. Final haemostasias then ensues before insertion of the triple way catheter with normal saline irrigation.
PROCEDURE	Corkscrew technique	the Corkscrew technique was performed by resection starting at 3 o'clock and carried on in a clockwise manner till 3 o'clock again. Prostate was resected from bladder neck downwards to the verumontanum after dividing the gland, imaginary, into 3 zones or thirds, proximal, middle and distal zone. The gland was resected zone by zone in this corkscrew manner. Once the proximal third is resected and hemostasis done, the middle third resection is done in the same manner, The process is repeated for the distal third. Hemostasis was performed instantly.
