About this study

Official title: Bipolar Versus Monopolar Resection of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia: A Comparison of the Effects on Plasma Electrolytes, Osmolarity and Hemoglobin

Aim of this prospective clinical study was to compare two different surgical techniques and used solutions on serum electrolytes, bleeding and Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) syndrome undergoing TURP.

Fifty-three patients scheduled for elective TURP were enrolled in this prospective clinical study. Patients were included one of two groups (Group Monopolar and Group Bipolar).

Background and Purpose:

Aim of this prospective clinical study was to compare two different surgical techniques and used solutions on serum electrolytes, bleeding and Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) syndrome undergoing TURP.

Methods:

Fifty-three patients scheduled for elective TURP were enrolled in this prospective clinical study. Patients were divided into two groups. Patients in Group M (Monopolar) (n=25) were used monopolar resectoscope (Karl Storz, Tottling, Germany) and 5% mannitol as irrigating solution. Patients in Group B (Bipolar) (n=25) were used bipolar resectoscope TURis (OLYMPUS, Tokyo, Japan) and isotonic saline as irrigating solution. Patients who received spinal anaesthesia were given 2.5-3 ml 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacain intrathecally and others were given general anaesthesia. Patients demographics, prostate volumes, hemodynamic parameters, volumes of irrigation and IV solutions were recorded. Blood samples were collected preoperatively (control), 45 minutes after the induction (2nd Measurement) and 1 hour after the end of the operation for analyzing serum electrolytes, osmolarity, hemoglobin values.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 5% MannitolOther

    Also called Karl Storz resectoscope

    Traditional monopolar TURP was performed by using and irrigation fluid containing 5% mannitol ( Resectisol Eczacibasi-Baxter).

  • 0,9% Sodium chlorideOther

    Also called TURis (OLYMPUS) resectoscope

    Bipolar TURP was carried out by using a 24 Fr TURis (OLYMPUS) resectoscope and irrigation fluid containing 0,9 % sodium chloride.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 5% Mannitol, 0,9% Sodium chloride and monopolar resectoscope in people with Acute Hyponatremia, run by Istanbul University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Serum sodium level (time frame: 0-3 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02681471, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Feb 2016.
