Influencing factors of lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with prostate hyperplasia after transurethral holmium laser enucleation / 中华全科医师杂志

ABSTRACT

A total of 360 patients with prostate hyperplasia underwent transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate in Department of Urology of Jinhua People′s Hospital from July 2019 to December 2022. Among 360 patients, lower urinary tract symptoms occurred one month after operation in 40 cases with an incidence rate of 11.11%. The age, body mass index (BMI), course of disease, nature of disease, preoperative prostate volume, postoperative prostate volume, preoperative IPSS score, postoperative IPSS score, preoperative maximum urine flow rate, postoperative maximum urine flow rate, preoperative residual urine volume, postoperative residual urine volume, postoperative urinary tract infection, operative time, postoperative catheter retention time were compared between patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (study group) and those without (control group). There were significant differences in the course of disease, preoperative prostate volume, preoperative IPSS score, preoperative maximum urine flow rate, preoperative residual urine volume, postoperative urinary tract infection and postoperative catheter retention time between two groups ( t=28.01, 6.35, 8.79, 17.92, 34.84, 11.45;all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the course of disease, preoperative prostate volume, preoperative IPSS score, postoperative urinary tract infection, and postoperative catheter retention time were independent risk factors for postoperative lower urinary tract symptoms ( OR=6.964, 3.442, 1.944, 4.836, 4.225, 4.894; all P<0.05); while the preoperative maximum urinary flow rate was the protective factor( OR=0.043, P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative lower urinary tract symptoms in patients undergoing transurethral holmium laser enucleation of prostate is high. Effective protective measures should be taken based on the risk factors to reduce the incidence of postoperative lower urinary tract symptoms and to promote the early recovery of patients.
