Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome is a rare but potentially fatal syndrome with multifactorial pathophysiology that is now better understood. Unfortunately, despite this improved understanding, it is not yet obsolete and still remains a risk. Many reviews of TURP syndrome have been presented from an anesthetic perspective; this review reflects more the urologic perspective...

OBJECTIVE Cost containment has become an important issue in medical practice because of recent bad economic conditions. We analyzed the cost of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) patients and cost-effective analysis was carried out comparing transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), visual laser ablation of the prostate (VLAP) and transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT). MATERIALS & ME...

PURPOSE To compare bipolar resection with the conventional monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with respect to peri- and postoperative complications and long-term outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with consecutive benign prostatic hyperplasia needing surgery (n=185) from the hospital's waiting list were randomized to TURP using either a bipolar or a monopolar system....

INTRODUCTION To investigate and highlight the effect of formaldehyde induced weight reduction in transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) and radical robotically-assisted prostatectomy (RALP) specimen as a result of standard chemical fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS 51 patients were recruited from January 2013 to June 2013 who either underwent a TURP (n=26) or RALP (n=25). Data was collected...

Results: All cases were successfully performed through the abdominal cavity through the robotic surgical system. Mean operation time was (141±58) min. Mean blood loss was (198±220) mL, mean postoperative catheter retained time was (7.3±3.8) days, mean hospita...

OBJECTIVE To assess the influence of early versus late removal of catheter after Transurethral Prostatectomy (TURP) in patients who presented with Acute Urinary Retention (AUR), at our centre. METHODS The records were reviewed of patients presenting to the Emergency Room (ER) or out patient department (OPD) with AUR, after TURP done between April 2004 to June 2008, at The Kidney Centre PGTI, ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the indication of routine transrectal ultrasound-guided needle biopsy (TRUSBx) of the prostate gland following incidental cancer diagnosis after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia. MATERIALS AND METHODS A multi-institutional search identified 63 patients with incidental TURP-diagnosed prostate cancer from 2001 to 2010, who un...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to define the clinical significance of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated patients with BPH, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS; International Prostate Symptom Score [IPSS]≥8), an elevated serum PSA level (...

INTRODUCTION Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is regarded as the gold standard surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The completeness of TURP may be assessed indirectly by estimation of the weight of glandular tissue removed. This parameter is often lower than expected. Tissue vaporisation in the course of TURP could be a contributory cause. AIM To quantitat...
