Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of transurethral bipolar plasmakinetic prostatectomy in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in high-risk and senior patients in China. Methods: The PubMed, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI and WanFang databases were searched with computer for collecting relevant interventional case series from establishment dates to September 14, 2018. After quality evaluation and data extraction independently conducted by two authors, the Meta-analysis was performed using the Comprehensive Meta-analysis V2 software. Results: Eighteen studies involving 1 899 patients are included. Maximum flow rate increased to 12.28 ml/s (95%CI: 8.42-16.14), 12.88 ml/s (95%CI: 9.85-15.92) ,14.32 ml/s (95%CI: 10.47-18.18), 14.93 ml/s (95%CI: 10.19-19.67) and 20.00 ml/s (95%CI: 19.08-20.92) in 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery, respectively. International prostate symptom score decreased to -18.60 (95%CI: -23.20–14.00), -17.62 (95%CI: -20.21–15.03), -19.14 (95%CI: -20.70–17.59), -19.06 (95%CI: -21.53–16.60) and -22.90 (95%CI: -24.26–21.54), respectively. Quality of life decreased to -2.38 (95%CI: -4.26–0.50), -3.39 (95%CI: -4.57–2.21),-3.75 (95%CI: -4.14–3.36), -3.36(95%CI: -4.56–2.16), and -4.58(95%CI: -4.75–4.41). Post void residual decreased to -231.16 ml (95%CI: -288.30–174.01), -76.10 ml (95%CI: -116.71–35.50), -159.90 ml(95%CI: -207.21–112.59) and -87.70 ml (95%CI: -91.91–83.48). The event rate of postoperative adverse reactions all were not high. Conclusion: Transurethral bipolar plasmakinetic prostatectomy has better clinical efficacy and no obvious side effects in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in high-risk and senior patients in China.
