Transurethral Resection of Prostate for Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and the advantages and disadvantages of transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP)for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 62 BPH patients who underwent TURP.Results The operative time,intraoperative blood loss,amount of resected tissue,time of postoperative continuous bladder irrigation,time of indwelling catheter,and length of stay were(53.8±21.2)minutes,(397.4±142.7)mL,(26.8±5.6)g,(36.2±5.2)hours,(5.2±1.1)days,and(7.8±1.6)days,respectively.Among the 62 patients,transurethral resection syndrome occurred in 2(3.2%) and secondary hemorrhage in 7(11.3%).At 2 months after TURP,international prostate symptom score,quality of life score,residual urine volume and maximum flow rate were significantly different from preoperative levels(P0.05).Conclusion TURP is a safe and ideal method for the treatment of BPH with advantages of small wounds,good efficacy,rapid recovery and few complications.
