Treatment of senior and high risk benign prostatic hyperplasia by transurethral resection of prostate

[Objective] To evaluate the effect of transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP) on senior and high risk benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH). [Methods] Turp was performed in 113 senior and risk patients with BPH. [Results] TURP was success fully completed on session in 111 cases and a second operation was required in the remaining 2 cases. Follow-up checkups for 3～24 months. Pre-and post-operatively, the international prostate symptom score (IPSS) were (28.2±2.9) and (8.2±3.5), the maximum flow rafe (MFR) were (5.3±3.7) mL/s and (18.5±4.6) mL/s, and the residual urine (RU) were (265.0±82.5) mL and (26.5±11.5) mL. [Conclusions] It is suggested that transurethral resection of the prostate is effective and safe to deal with the patients with BPH in senior and high risk.
