Monitoring of irrigating fluid absorption during transurethral prostatectomy.

Transurethral Prostatectomy: Review of 1,000 Patients Using Distilled Water as Irrigating Fluid and the Suprapubic Shunt

Objective: To review in 1000 patients the results of the transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) using distilled water as irrigating fluid and the suprapubic shunt to allow a low bladder pressure procedure. Material and Methods: 1000 patients 36 to 94 years old (average 65 years) with benign hyperplasia submitted to TURP between 1985 and 1999 were retrospectively evaluated for the immedi...

[Analysis of the absorcion's factors of irrigating fluid during transurethral resection of the prostate].

OBJECTIVES In this study it was our intention to evaluate the relation between the reabsorption of irrigating fluid and three variables: time of the intervention, volume of solution of glicina employee and weight of the fragments, during the RTU of prostate fulfilled to low hydraulic pressure. MATERIAL AND METHOD We study 74 patients that RTU of prostate was performed with suprapúbica derivat...

The impact of irrigating fluid absorption on blood coagulation in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate

Although endoscopic transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a well-established procedure as a treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia, its complications remain a concern. Among these, coagulopathy may be caused by the absorption of irrigating fluid. This study aimed to evaluate such phenomenon using a rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM).A total of 20 patients undergoing TURP part...

Absorption of glycine irrigating solution during transcervical resection of endometrium.

A randomized comparison between three types of irrigating fluids during transurethral resection in benign prostatic hyperplasia

BACKGROUND Central nervous system changes, circulatory and electrolyte imbalances are the main complications of endoscopic transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) which is known as transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome, which occurs as result of excessive absorption of irrigating fluid. We compare glycine 1.5% versus glucose 5% and normal saline 0.9% as irrigating solutions during TURP ...
