PURPOSE We aimed to verify the current status of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in Korea. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of 1,341 men who underwent TURP in 9 Korean medical centers between 2004 and 2008 were reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups according to time periods: 2004-2005 (group 1) and 2006-2008 (group 2). To verify differences in the two pat...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the long-term outcomes of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) immediately after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment for prostate cancer (CaP). METHODS The present retrospective study included 65 CaP patients who underwent HIFU alone and 64 patients who underwent TURP immediately after HIFU. HIFU treatment was carried out using a Sonablate-500 H...

INTRODUCTION Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) still remains the most popular surgical treatment for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms. However, in some patients, the improvement of symptoms after TURP is insufficient. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of the resected prostate tissue weight (RPTW) on the improvement of symptoms (IPSS), quality of life (QoL), ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) on erectile function. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 108 patients treated with TURP were retrospectively evaluated. All patients were evaluated 1, 3, and 6 months after TURP by use of the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), p...

Background: Dystrophic calcification (DC) can occur as a reaction to tissue damage and necrosis. So far, this has never been described as a complication after conventional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Case Presentation: We report on a 59-year-old man who underwent uncomplicated monopolar TURP for lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. The patient...

INTRODUCTION Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the gold standard for surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but it has complications such as bleeding and transurethral resection syndrome. The treatment results of TURP performed by non-Japanese board-certified urologists were examined, and the results were analyzed according to the resection volume to determine...

OBJECTIVE This study was to prospectively evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Cernilton in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients with histological prostatitis after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred patients with histological prostatitis were recruited from January 2007 to January 2013. All patients were divided into groups A (mild), B (m...

PURPOSE In recent years, laser surgery has been widely used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). A thulium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Tm:YAG) laser was recently introduced for BPH surgery. We compared the effectiveness and safety of Tm:YAG laser vaporesection of the prostate (ThuVaRP) with that of bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). MATERIALS AND METHODS From Januar...

Introduction: Monopolar transurethral resection of prostate (M-TURP) is rarely complicated with the dreaded syndrome TURP due to absorption larger amount non-electrolyte hypo-osmolar irrigation fluid (1.5% glycine), longer duration surgery and tissue resection. This study aims find out incidence perioperative outcome after monopolar TURP. Method: was a cross sectional retrospectively collected ...

Abstract Over 15,000 transurethral resections of the prostate (TURP) are performed yearly in UK. It is therefore vital that peri-operative care optimised. Our centre favours use two-way catheters post-operatively without continuous bladder irrigation (CBI). Aim To evaluate our practice using post-TURP and to determine impact on patient compared standard three-way catheterization. primary outcom...
