Abstract

Objective To review the intra and postoperative complication of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) and find some way to improve the safety of TURP. Methods The clinical data of 726 patients (1998-2008) were analyzed for the complications after TURP retrospectively. Results There were no dead cases. The mean operative time was 83 min. Transurethral resection (TURS) occurred in 16(2.2%) cases,postoperative bleeding in 8(1.1%) cases,urine extravasation in 6(0.8%) cases,urinary incontinence in 17(2.3%) cases,dysuresia and urethral stricture in 21(3.0%) cases,urinary tract infection in 11(1.5%) cases,sexual disturbance in 30(4.1%) cases. Conclusion TURP is safe if the complications can be treated in time. Most of the complications are closely related to the technology of the operators.
