Anatomic Endoscopic Prostate Enucleation and BICEP Classification

Summary

The Bladder Injury Classification System for Endoscopic Procedure (BICEP) is designed to provide a systematic framework for categorizing bladder injuries that occur during endoscopic procedures. By standardizing the classification of these injuries, BICEP promotes a more consistent approach to diagnosis, management, and prevention across different urologic interventions. This study aims to validate and implement the BICEP system during morcellation.

This study will:

Validate BICEP by using real-life clinical scenarios to ensure its applicability and effectiveness.

Assess the incidence and types of bladder injuries during morcellation, using the BICEP categorization to standardize injury reporting and enhance treatment protocols.

Conditions

• Bladder Injury
• Prostate Hyperplasia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Endoscopic Prostate Interventions for Anatomic Enucleation

The intervention in this study involves performing anatomic endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (AEEP) using different energy sources. Following the enucleation, the resected prostate tissue will be morcellated within the bladder using various morcellators to remove the enlarged prostate tissue minimally invasively. The process will also involve evaluating and categorizing any resulting bladder injuries using the BICEP classification system.
