Stop or Ongoing Oral Anticoagulation in Patients Undergoing Pvp (SOAP)

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a very common pathology of the aging man with an incidence that rises from 40% in men aged 50 to 60 years to 90% in men over 80 years. Studies such as the MTOPS (the Medical Therapy of Prostatic Symptoms) study show that more than half of the patients recruited had an aggravation of their disease over time either by an increase in symptoms or by the appearance of complications such as acute retention of urine. For benign symptomatic prostate hypertrophy, apart from any complication, first-line treatment is now a medical treatment. For patients who respond poorly to medical treatment or who have complications related to benign prostatic hypertrophy, the treatment becomes surgical. The reference treatment is endoscopic prostate resection (TURP). It is mainly to improve the safety of hemostasis in patients older and older and at significant surgical risk that new "minimally invasive" surgical techniques have emerged. Thus, lasers have been developed and are currently used as an alternative to the TURP. Used in clinical practice since 2000, prostatic photosensitive vaporization (PVP) relies on the absorption of a 532nm (green) wavelength laser beam by the oxyhemoglobin contained in richly vascularized prostate tissue. Given the aging of the population, more and more patients are being treated with oral anticoagulants (Anti Vitamin K (AVK) or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs)). Today there are about 1.4 million people on oral anticoagulants, 40% of whom are over 80 years of age. The peri-operative management of the AVK is currently based on the recommendations published by the FHA (French Health Authority) in 2008. Concerning the perioperative management of DOACs, the perioperative haemostasis interest group (GIHP) made proposals updated in September 2015. Numerous studies published in the literature have concluded the feasibility of prostate removal surgery by PVP with greenlight laser without relay (or interruption) of AVK or DOACs because of the properties of hemostasis. But the levels of evidence for these studies remain low. No study has focused on rigorously assessing the perioperative hemorrhagic risk associated with OAC therapy in patients eligible for PVP, and this is the originality of this study. This study is a multicenter prospective randomized study whose objective is to show that the PVP performed in patients with OAC is not associated with an increase in perioperative hemorrhagic risk.

Database for the Assessment of Efficacy and Safety of BPH Treatment

Artery Embolization vs Operation of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia

Aim of the study is to compare prostate artery embolization (PAE) to the established surgical treatment for patient acceptance, morbidity, complications, and the functional outcomes. To compare length of stay, hospital costs and time for recovery. 140 patients will be randomized to PAE or surgery. Patients should suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), be candidates for both treatments and willing to undergo both procedures. Before randomization computed tomography angiography of the pelvic arteries is done to select eligible patients. Magnetic resonance imaging of prostate rules out possible cancer. The PAE is done in the angio suite in the radiology department injecting small particles into the prostate arteries. The surgery is done in the operation room in the urology department according to established procedures. Clinical follow-up include clinical visit after 3 months, 1 and 5 years. Acute as well as long term complications will be recorded.

Middle Lobe Only Laser Vaporization or Total Prostate Vaporization of the Prostate, Prospective Cohort Study

The investigator aims to prospectively investigate the efficacy and durability of the middle lobe only versus traditional complete photoselective greenlight vaporization of the prostate in patients with prominent middle lobe. The investigator will select patients based on pre-op cystoscopy if patients have a prominent middle lobe to participate in this study. Researches will start to vaporize only the middle lobe then, at the end of this step, The investigator will look at the verumontanum into the prostatic fossa and determine if the patient is having adequate opened prostatic fossa or not. Patients with unsatisfactory opened fossa will have a complete PVP of lateral lobes, while patients with a satisfactory channel will not receive a complete PVP. Primary objectives of the study are to look into pre and post-operative uroflowmetry and post-void residual, International prostate symptoms scores, need of catheterization, and need for secondary interventions over five then ten years. Secondary objectives are to look into erectile and ejaculatory status using the Male Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ) and MSHQ-EjD Short Form for Assessing EjD. Researchers will follow the patients at three months, six months, one year then yearly for five years then an extension to up to 10 years.

Top-Down Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) vs the Traditional HoLEP for Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the non-malignant enlargement of the prostate gland, places pressure on the urethra and causes urination difficulties and bladder problems. Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) secondary to BPH is a common condition in aging men, with an overall prevalence of more than 50% in those older than 50 years of age. Men with LUTS often experience sexual dysfunction including ejaculatory loss, painful ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction, which among other complications can also lead to a decreased quality of life. Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), first reported by Fraundorfer et al in 1998, is a more recent step in the evolution of holmium laser prostatectomy. HOLEP offers patients the alternative of being treated endoscopically with minimal blood loss, short catheterization time, and decreased hospital stay. One noted drawback to HoLEP, and the primary reason why it has yet to become the new standard for treatment of symptomatic BPH, is the complexity of this procedure, with a prolonged learning curve. Modifications to the procedure have thus been explored in order to address this limitation. The "Top-Down" HoLEP technique is a novel technique which offers potential benefits to the Traditional HoLEP procedure, including decreased complexity, a reduced learning curve, with anticipated improved continence. In this study we will look to compare the operating time between the Top-Down Holmium Laser Enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and the Traditional HoLEP for the treatment of patients with symptomatic bladder outlet obstruction due to BPH in Northwestern Ontario.

Greenlight Vaporization vs Xpeeda Vaporesection

Bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common problem, which impact patients' quality of life. It may lead to serious outcomes, including urinary tract infection, hematuria, bladder stones, urinary retention, hydronephrosis, and rarely renal insufficiency. Introduction of the Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) represented a turning point in minimally invasive laser therapy for BPH as it achieves size-independent prostatic cavities similar to simple open prostatectomy with significantly lower perioperative morbidity. Recently, Holmium Xpeeda side firing fibre was introduced and it stands apart from other available technologies as a combination of power and efficiency, which minimizes vaporization time. This technology seems to revolutionize utilization of the Holmium power and delivering more energy directly to the tissue, due to its capability of being in contact with the tissue. To date, no outcomes of the new Xpeeda laser fiber have been reported in the literature, which is striving for trials comparing XPS 180W with other competitors such as Holmium vaporesection with the new fiber Xpeeda. Therefore, this study is planned to compare both procedures in improving bothersome LUTS secondary to BPH, and to evaluate safety and cost effectiveness.
