The value of transurethral cylindrical dilatation of the prostate in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the effects of transurethral split of the prostate (TUSP) on the urodynamics, the sexual function and the quality of life of benign prostatic hyperplasia.Methods:Eighty patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia admitted to the Deqing People′s Hospital of Zhejiang Province from January 2017 to June 2019 were enrolled into the research objects prospectively. According to the random digits table method, they were divided into group A and group B, with 40 cases in each group. The group A was treated with TUSP, while the group B was treated with bipolar transurethral plasma kinetic prostatectomy (TUPKP). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, bladder irrigation time, urinary catheter indwelling time, hospitalization time of the two groups were compared and surgical effects were evaluated. The changes of hemoglobin (Hb), serum sodium (Na), post-void residual volume (PVR), maximum urinary flow rate (Q max), international prostate symptom score (IPSS) and international index of erectile function score (IIEF-5), the quality of life index (QOL) of 2 groups before and after the operation were measured. Surgical complications were recorded. Results:The operation time, bladder irrigation time, urinary catheter indwelling time and hospital stay in group A were all shorter than that in group B: (15.63 ± 4.17) min vs. (58.79 ± 10.45) min, (6.26 ± 1.17) h vs. (45.51 ± 10.03) h, (3.07 ± 0.68) d vs. (5.67 ± 1.51) d, (3.63 ± 0.43) d vs. (6.08 ± 1.72) d, (18.32 ± 2.79) ml vs. (65.26 ± 20.64) ml, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); there were no statistical difference between 2 groups in surgical curative effect grade and Na 1 d after operation ( P>0.05); 1 day after operation, Hb in group A was higher than that in group B: (115.63 ± 9.78) g/L vs. (109.65 ± 8.36) g/L, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05); PVR, Q max, IPSS, IIEF-5 and QOL 3 and 6 months after surgery were improved in 2 groups ( P<0.05), but the difference between 2 groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05); the total complication rate in group A was lower than that in group B: 10.00% (4/40) vs. 27.50% (11/40), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:TUSP and TUPKP are equally effective in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, both of which can improve the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia, improve the quality of life and improve sexual function. But TUSP has less intraoperative bleeding, shorter operation time, faster postoperative recovery, fewer complications, and higher safety.
