Transurethral prostatectomy complicated by intraperitoneal extravasation of irrigating fluid

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...

Urethral injury during potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser prostatectomy complicated by transurethral resection syndrome.

The green light potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate is the latest modality for treatment of benign prostatic obstruction. Because of effective superficial tissue coagulation, intravascular absorption of fluid is minimal; therefore, development of transurethral resection syndrome is unlikely. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient underg...

Fluid extravasation caused by bladder perforation during bipolar transurethral resection using saline solution -a case report-

Transurethral resection of the prostate is the gold standard in the operative management of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate using saline solution is a safe technique and reduces the risk of transurethral resection syndrome. This report discusses a rare complication of bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate: the extravasation of 0.9% saline ...

[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...
