Bipolar Transurethral Enucleation of the Prostate With Preservation of Ejaculation in Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This prospective randomized controlled trial will compare ejaculation-preserving bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate with standard bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate in sexually active men with benign prostatic hyperplasia and lower urinary tract symptoms after failed medical treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to either ejaculation-preserving B-TUEP or standard B-TUEP. The study will evaluate preservation of ejaculatory function, erectile function, urinary symptom improvement, uroflowmetry outcomes, post-void residual urine, perioperative complications, and need for retreatment during follow-up.
• Male patients with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic obstruction after failed medical treatment for at least 3 months.

• Transrectal ultrasound-estimated prostate size between 40 and 100 cc.
