OBJECTIVE: To determine the serum sodium level in transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) PATIENTS AND METHODS: This cross sectional type descriptive study was conducted at a private hospital Hyderabad and at tertiary care hospital attached with Ghulam Muhammad Maher Medical College, Sindh Pakistan from June 2009 to November 2009. All patients above 45-75 years of age present with histor...

Intravesical explosion during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is an extremely rare event. It might be associated with various degrees of bladder injury ranging from simple mucosal tear to rupture of the bladder. It is believed that intravesical explosion occurs due to formation of explosive gases in the bladder during TURP and its admixture with air. One case of intravesical expl...

CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 56-year-old Chinese male with previously diagnosed prostatic stromal tumour of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) presented with urinary retention 6 years after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Cystoscopy showed a papillary tumour of the prostatic urethra causing near-complete obstruction. Repeat TURP was performed. He has been asymp...

Aim. To provide comparative analysis of laparoscopic retropubic simple prostatectomy combined with provisional clamping internal iliac arteries, uretherocystoanastomosis (LRP + CIIA UCA) and transurethral resection prostate (TURP) for surgical treatment benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Materials methods. 103 patients age ³40 years old refracted symptoms urinary tract compression caused by BP...

INTRODUCTION: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) requires the use of an irrigating fluid to remove blood and debris to visualize the operating area. Glycine solution is the most commonly used irrigant & has been used in TURP for > 50years. There is now increasing evidence, highlighting the toxicity of glycine 1.5% solution when absorbed during TURP causing TUR syndrome. On the other...

Granulomatous Prostatitis (GnP) is a heterogenous entity classified into specific infections, non-specific infections, post surgical i.e. post-transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) and rare secondary (systemic) causes. A total of 1388 reports of prostatic biopsy and prostatic chips from TURP were reviewed from 1995 and 2007. The results which showed granulomatous prostatitis were analyzed ...

PURPOSE Thanks to advancements in surgical techniques and instruments, many surgical modalities have been developed to replace transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). However, TURP remains the gold standard for the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We conducted a meta-analysis on the efficacy and safety of minimally invasive surgical therapies for BPH compared wi...

PURPOSE This study was conducted to examine whether simultaneous transrectal prostate needle biopsy (TPNB) owing to an increase in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels is safe and effective in patients who are scheduled for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). MATERIALS AND METHODS Combined TPNB and TURP was performed in a total of 42 patien...

Hypothesis / aims of study Despite the development of new minimally invasive methods, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains the gold standard surgical treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) related to BPH, with more than 90% of the patients reporting normal or improved voiding, after 10-year follow-up period. The recommended technique of TURP consists of complete rem...
