Objective: To evaluate the effect of transurethral plasmakinetic enucleation of the prostate (PKEP) with complete preservation of the urethral mucosa in the 11-1 o'clock position on urinary continence and erectile function in BPH patients., Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on 84 cases of BPH treated by traditional PKEP (group A, n = 48) or modified PKEP with complete preservation of the urethral mucosa in the 11-1 o'clock position (group B, n = 36) from January 2017 to December 2021. All the patients had sexual activities within three months preoperatively. We followed up the patients for 12 months after surgery and compared the baseline, surgery-related and follow-up data between the two groups of patients., Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups of patients in age, disease duration, prostate volume, preoperative postvoid residual urine (PVR), preoperative maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), IPSS, PSA level, QOL scores or IIEF-5 scores, nor in the operation time, intraoperative hemoglobin decrease, volume of resected tissue, bladder flushing time, postoperative hospital stay, or postoperative improvement of Qmax and IPSS. The rate of urinary continence was significantly higher in group B than in A at 1 month postoperatively (66.67% [24/36] vs 43.25% [20/48], P = 0.025) and so were IIEF-5 scores at 6 months (16.69 ± 3.21 vs 15.27 ± 2.74, P = 0.032) and 12 months (18.04 ± 2.04 vs 16.96 ± 2.54, P = 0.039), while the incidence rate of retrograde ejaculation markedly lower in the former than in the latter group at 6 months (33.33% [12/36] vs 56.25% [28/48], P = 0.018) and 12 months (25% [9/36] vs 47.92% [23/48], P = 0.027). At 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, the patients in group B also showed remarkably higher QOL scores than those in group B (2.61 ± 0.81 vs 2.12 ± 0.69, P = 0.005; 2.24 ± 0.66 vs 1.94 ± 0.51,P = 0.026; 2.12 ± 0.83 vs 1.80 ± 0.53,P = 0.047; and 1.94 ± 0.65 vs 1.72 ± 0.58, P = 0.038)., Conclusion: Modified PKEP with complete preservation of the urethral mucosa in the 11-1 o'clock position can improve urinary continence, protect erectile function and ameliorate QOL in patients with BPH.
