A randomised study of TURP after intraprostatic injection of mepicacaine/adrenaline versus regular TURP in patients with LUTS/BPO.

The results obtained in this study showed that it is beneficial to apply intraprostatic injections of MA in immediate conjunction with TURP, in terms of blood loss per resected gram. The study is, however, small and corroboration of our results in more extensive prospective studies may therefore be warranted before embarking upon this technique.
