A Prospective Comparative Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Transurethral Thulium Fiber Laser, Holmium Laser and Bipolar Enucleation of Large Sized Prostate

This study compares the safety and efficacy of three endoscopic enucleation techniques for large prostates (\>100 mL) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): Thulium Fiber Laser Enucleation (ThuFLEP), Holmium Laser Enucleation (HoLEP), and Bipolar Enucleation (B-TUEP). Ninety male patients with severe lower urinary tract symptoms (IPSS ≥20, Qmax ≤10 mL/s) who failed medical therapy will be randomized 1:1:1 into three groups of 30. Primary outcomes include IPSS, quality of life score, maximum flow rate (Qmax), and post-void residual at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Secondary outcomes include operative time, enucleation efficiency, blood loss, catheterization duration, hospital stay, and complication rates assessed by the Clavien-Dindo classification.
