Combined use of TUVP and TURP for prostate cancer with bladder outlet obstruction / 中华男科学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate a new surgical method for the treatment of prostate cancer with bladder outlet obstruction.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Forty-seven patients with prostate cancer complicated with bladder outlet obstruction were treated by combined use of transurethral electrovaporization ablation of the prostate (TUVP) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The operations were successful, with satisfactory results and no serious complication. IPSS decreased from (26.5 +/- 4.8) pre-operatively to (8.5 +/- 2.2) post-operatively (P < 0.05); Qmax increased from (4.6 +/- 1.5) ml/s to (14.5 +/- 3.6) ml/s (P < 0.05); and PSA decreased from (58.1 +/- 7.2) microg/L to (3.6 +/- 1.8) microg/L (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The combined use of TUVP and TURP is a safe and ideal method for the treatment of prostate cancer with bladder outlet obstruction.</p>
