ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP)for high-risk benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).Methods Form January 2001 to July 2007,we performed TURP on 303 patients with high-risk BPH.The patients aged form 65 to 89 years with a mean of 76.3.Among them,151 were complicated with cardiovascular diseases,67 had pulmonary diseases,37 had diabetes mellitus,26 had brain disease,16 showed renal inadequacy,and 6 showed abnormal liver function.Results The procedure was completed successfully in all of the 303 cases without death,dysuria,or severe complications.Compared to the examinations carried out before the procedure,the IPSS and QOL scores,and RU decreased significantly,while the Qmax increased 3 months after the prosedure[IPSS:(19.6?7.9)points vs.(6.4?3.3)points,t=26.838,P=0.000;QOL:(4.7?1.5)points vs.(2.3?1.1)points,t=22.459,P=0.000;Qmax:(4.1?2.6)ml/s vs.(13.9?7.1)ml/s,t=-22.561,P=0.000;and RU:(139.0?32.5)ml vs(13.5?8.6)ml,t=55.143,P=0.000].ConclusionsTURP is a safet and effective procedure for high-risk BPH with a low rate of postoperative complications.Proper peri-operative individual management and operation skills are important for the success of the procedure.
