BACKGROUND Transurethral resection of the prostate gland with irrigation fluid at room temperature leads to perioperative hypothermia which could give rise to adverse cardiovascular events in the perioperative period. The use of isothermic irrigation fluid reduces but does not eliminate this risk. Routine use of warm intravenous fluids along with isothermic irrigation had not been documented. T...

The aim of this study was to determine whether early catheter removal after transurethral resection of prostate significantly reduces the length of hospital stay. Fifty two consecutive patients who underwent transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were reviewed retrospectively. Patient's profile and all relevant data were noted from charts. The length o...

OBJECTIVE To examine the role of microwave power and blood flow on temperature variations and tissue destruction in the prostate, using a theoretical model of transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT), and thus compare fixed-energy TUMT with no intraprostatic temperature monitoring (constant microwave power applied over a fixed period) with 'feedback' TUMT in which the microwave power is adj...

The head-mounted display (HMD) is a new image monitoring system. We developed the Personal Integrated-image Monitoring System (PIM System) using the HMD (HMZ-T2, Sony Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) in combination with video splitters and multiplexers as a surgical guide system for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The imaging information obtained from the cystoscope, the transurethral...

Objective: Exploring the clinical efficacy of transurethral plasma enucleation prostate in treatment benign prostatic hyperplasia with underactive bladder detrusor contractility. Methods: Retrospective analysis data 68 patients and muscle contractility treated by our department from July 2021 to 2022. The above all met diagnosis hyperplasia, excluding cancer urethral stricture. Urodynamics show...

Here, we report a case of stromal tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) that was difficult to diagnose. A 53-year-old male was found to have a hard nodule on digital rectal examination; magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large nodule on the left side of the prostate, indicating prostate cancer. However, pathological diagnosis of the biopsy specimen was benign prostatic hyperplasia. ...

INTRODUCTION Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) may ultimately result in acute urinary retention (AUR). This study was performed to assess the impact of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) on urodynamic parameters in patients with BPH using pre- and postoperative pressure-flow studies (PFS) and compare those between patients with and without preoperative AUR. PATIENTS AND METHODS 7...

BACKGROUND Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common progressive disease in aging men, which leads to a significant impact on daily lives of patients. Continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) is a supplementary option for preventing the adverse events following transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Regulation of the flow rate based on the color of drainage bag is significant to prevent the ...

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...

We report a case of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) syndrome. A 78-year-old man with prostatic hypertrophy was scheduled for transurethral resection of the prostate under spinal anesthesia. 30 minutes after the end of the surgery, the patient presented signs of TURP syndrome with bradycardia, arterial hypotension, cyanosis, hypoxemia and coma. The electrolytes analysis revealed an ac...
