ABSTRACT = {Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most 
common conditions affecting older men. Transurethral 
resection of the prostate (TURP) has widely been 
considered the gold standard in surgical treatment 
for BPH. However, this procedure remains largely an 
inpatient procedure. Inpatient admission ultimately 
adds to healthcare cost and patient morbidity. In this 
article, we present an alternative methodology to treat 
BPH using combination Olympus PlasmaButton and 
Olympus PlasmaLoop therapy. Preliminary results 
from our experience suggest improved hemostasis with 
adequate resection, allowing a majority of our patients to 
be discharged the same day of the procedure. We describe 
our novel technique as a safe and effective way to possibly 
treat BPH in an outpatient setting.},
