Rivera et al. | A Survey of Morcellator Preference and Cost Comparison of the Lumenis VersaCut and Wolf Piranha Morcellators. | 2018 | Urology. 111: 54-58. |
| Significant improved efficiency and improved cost savings utilizing the Piranha morcellator even when controlling for disposable costs |
Deng et al. | Bipolar plasmakinetic transurethral enucleation and resection versus bipolar plasmakinetic transurethral resection for surgically treating large (≥60 g) prostates: a propensity score-matched analysis with a 3-year follow-up | 2021 | Urology and nephrology 73(3): 376-383. |
| For patients with large (≥60 g) prostates, BP-TUERP and BP-TURP are safe options, but the former is a more effective choice in long-term follow-up outcomes. BP-TUERP is related to reduced CT and hemoglobin decrease with more removal of prostatic tissue at the expense of longer OT than BP-TURP. |
