Because of the diversity of the studies and deficiency of those comparing various techniques of EEP for treatment of LUTs secondary to BPO in patients with large sized prostate, we aim in this study at testing the non-inferiority of PKEP and ThuLEP to HoLEP in relieving LUTs secondary to BPO in patients prostate size \>80ml. Our hypothesis is to present an evidence that enucleation is a technique rather than a power dependent procedure through a RCT.
