Evaluation of early apical release with bipolar Collins knife versus Thulium-Yag laser enucleation of large-sized prostate. A randomized study.

Both BipolEP and ThuLEP, with early apical release, provide a safe and effective management of large-size prostate resulting in significant decrease in post-operative stress incontinence incidence during early follow-up. Intraoperative irrigation saline volume, and post-operative hemoglobin drop favored the bipolar group.
