About this study

The aim of the study is to prospectively evaluate the operational efficiency and safety of the Veloxion™ disposable resectoscope system when used for endoscopic surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Subjects will be followed up on 2 weeks (phone/clinic) and 1 month, (phone/clinic, safety assessments, device-related AEs, reinterventions, usability feedback).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 30-70 years old with symptomatic BPH.
  • Prostate volume 20-120 mL (TRUS/MRI/US)
  • Suitable for endoscopic resection/vaporization per device IFU.
  • Able to consent and comply with follow-up to 1 month.

Exclusion criteria

  • Known/suspected prostate cancer requiring oncologic management.
  • Prior prostate surgery impacting urethral anatomy within 12 months.
  • Prior implant affecting urethral anatomy.
  • Active UTI or untreated bacteriuria pre-op.
  • Uncorrectable coagulopathy; inability to manage antithrombotics.
  • Severe medical comorbidity precluding anesthesia or endoscopy.

Treatment and study plan

TURP using the Aulea Veloxion™ Disposable Resectoscope System

Procedure

TURP will be performed by Aulea Veloxion™ Disposable Resectoscope System. The resectoscopes are single-use and ensure consistent quality and no cross-contamination. The automated fluid management system continuously monitors and manages intravesical pressure while actively evacuating tissue to prevent clogging. The active power generation system optimize plasma generation for effective resection and extended equipment life. This system allows transurethral resection of prostate to be performed in a motorized and highly effective manner. This study is designed to prospectively characterize operational efficiency in real-world BPH resections using the cleared device platform.

Aulea Veloxion™ Disposable Resectoscope System

Device

Veloxion™ platform disposable resectoscope is FDA-cleared for treatment of BPH. It is an all-in-one, platform that combines fluid control, video pipeline and energy generator. The resectoscopes are single-use and ensure consistent quality and no cross-contamination. The automated fluid management system continuously monitors and manages intravesical pressure while actively evacuating tissue to prevent clogging. The active power generation system optimize plasma generation for effective resection and extended equipment life. This system allows transurethral resection of prostate to be performed in a motorized and highly effective manner. This study is designed to prospectively characterize operational efficiency in real-world BPH resections using the cleared device platform.

Primary outcomes

  1. Difference in total procedure time versus a pre-specified benchmark

    Time frame: Perioperative

    Derived from historical standard reusable resectoscope TURP/TURP-like procedures at the same site, tested against a superiority margin

  2. Difference in case cost versus a pre-specified benchmark

    Time frame: Perioperative

    Derived from historical standard reusable resectoscope TURP/TURP-like procedures at the same site, tested against a superiority margin

Secondary outcomes

  1. Total Resection time

    Time frame: Intra-operative

    The cumulative electrosurgery activation time (minutes) from generator logs and video annotation.

  2. The Instrument exchanges time

    Time frame: Intra-operative

    The count and cumulative time with scope out-of-field; standardized categories (loop, electrode, sheath, camera).

  3. The Visibility score

    Time frame: Intra-operative

    Assessed by the surgeon-rated 5-point Likert per 15-minute epoch; total irrigation volume; number of bag exchanges; "red-out" events.

  4. Adverse event

    Time frame: Within post-operative 30 days

    By "Clavien-Dindo Classification"

  5. The cost per case

    Time frame: Intra-operative

    equipment, facility, consumables, device, reprocessing, repair, maintenance, rental (if applicable), staff cost to perform the surgery

  6. Staff usability scores

    Time frame: Intra-operative

    By OR nurse and scrub tech 5-point Likert for setup ease, troubleshooting, case flow.

  7. Total procedure time

    Time frame: intra-operative

    The time from scope insertion to final scope removal (minutes) from OR time logs/video time stamps.
