ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the clinical effects of perioperative treatment by integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine on postoperative parameters of TURP.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From Jun. 2002 to Oct. 2006, 238 cases of TURP were performed in our hospital, of whom, 179 (Group A) were treated by integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and the other 59 (Group B) by Western medicine. The postoperative parameters of the 2 groups were recorded and compared.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Postoperative catheter indwelling, hospital stay, Q(max) 4 w after TURP and incidence of bacteriuria (> 5 d) showed no significant difference (P > 0.05), while the incidence rates of overactive bladder and urgent urinary incontinence, hematuria time, dysuria time, IPSS score and QOL score 4 w after TURP were statistically different between the 2 groups (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>For TURP patients, perioperative treatment by integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine can reduce postoperative complications, increase the success rate of surgery and improve QOL score.</p>
