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...

PURPOSE This study was to evaluate the characteristics of selective spinal anesthesia using 1 mg of bupivacaine combined with fentanyl or sufentanil in elderly patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-six patients were randomized into two groups. The Fentanyl group received 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.2 mL+fentanyl 20 μg+5% dextrose 1.4 mL, and th...

The TUNA device is a unique system that uses radiofrequency energy to ablate the obstructing prostate adenoma. Although the clinical data are preliminary, they appear to provide improvement in symptom scores and peak flow rates, although somewhat less than TURP. A prospective, randomized trial comparing TUNA to TURP is under way, which should answer many of the questions regarding the safety an...

Study sample Power calculations were not utilised to determine the sample size. The study sample consisted of 69 hospitalised TURP patients, 32 in the CP group and 37 in the control (non-CP) group. The mean age was 70.4 years (range: 54 88; median 69) for the CP group and 71.9 years (range: 52 87; median 71) for the control group. The seriousness of the condition (mean volume of the affected ar...

Objective: Exploring the clinical efficacy of transurethral plasma enucleation prostate in treatment benign prostatic hyperplasia with underactive bladder detrusor contractility. Methods: Retrospective analysis data 68 patients and muscle contractility treated by our department from July 2021 to 2022. The above all met diagnosis hyperplasia, excluding cancer urethral stricture. Urodynamics show...

Objective: To determine the outcomes and efficacy of transurethral urinary diversion/stenting with size six feeding tube and that of suprapubic cystostomy after hypospadias repair in

BACKGROUND It was aimed to compare the efficacy and adverse effects of levobupivacaine alone and in combination with fentanyl and sufentanil during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) under spinal anesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective, randomized, double-blind trial, 60 patients undergoing elective TURP under spinal anesthesia were randomized into three groups. Ten ...
