Summary

The aim of this study is to compare two different surgical methods for treating benign prostatic obstruction (BPO).

The investigators are going to compare the risks and benefits of bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and bipolar transurethral enucleation of the prostate (BipolEP). Furthermore, the investigators are going to compare the amount of tissue resected per minute, in order to assess the efficiency of each surgical method.

It is a prospective, interventional, multi-centre (2 centres total), randomized trial.

Approximately 84 patients will be included
