Bladder injury in anatomical endoscopic enucleation of the prostate and morcellation using the Bladder Injury Classification for Endoscopic Procedures: a European Association of Urology endourology prospective study
Intraoperative bladder injury occurred in AEEP procedures, most being low-grade and self-limiting. Higher BICEP categories were associated with increased operative complexity and perioperative morbidity, supporting its value as a standardised reporting tool. The BICEP system enables objective, comparable documentation of bladder injuries across endoscopic urological procedures and may facilitate improved safety monitoring and quality benchmarks.
