ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate and evaluate the effects and safety of the operationabsorption of irrigation fluid occurs during 1470 nm diode laser vaporization of the prostate by ethano. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 32 cases of BPH treated by 1470 nm diode laser vaporization from May 2016 to December 2016 intraoperative use of isotonic saline contains 1.0％ ethanol as perfusion fluid, monitor the patients' breath ethanol concentration, calculation of perfusion fluid absorption. Results All the operations were successfully completed, the average operation time was (57.6 ± 32.9) min, the average perfusion fluid volume was (21.5 ± 9.9) L, only 5 cases detected perfusion fluid absorption, the average absorptive amount was (156.8 ± 111.7) ml. During operation, all the patients with stable breathing, circulation, no alcohol poisoning symptoms, no bleeding, capsular perforation, cardiorespiratory failure occurred. All the 32 cases patients were followed up for 3 months, which revealed a significant improvement in dysuresia, no severe complications such as urethrostenosis, urinary incontinence, secondary hemorrhage were noted. Conclusion Fluid absorption little occurs during 1470 nm diode laser vaporization, it is safe and effective in treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVES</b>To investigate the difference of BPH incidence in two groups.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>309 cadres and 314 farmers over 60 years old in district of Wannan have been investigated. The investigation included prostate volume (V), IPSS, L, Qmax, residual urine (R) and dietary constituents.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The intake of animal protein in cadres is more than that in farmers (u = 24.10, P < 0.01), and the incidence rate of BPH is significantly higher (91.1% vs 11.8%, chi 2 = 24.64, P < 0.001). Logistic regression shows that the intake of animal protein has a parallel relationship with BPH.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>In the district of Wannan, the incidence of BPH in cadres is significantly higher than that of farmers, and it may be correlated with the amount of animal protein intake.</p>
