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 ...

BACKGROUND Greenlight laser transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is a standard surgical method used to treat patients with prostate gland enlargement, it is safe and effective. CASE PRESENTATION We report two cases of sudden occurence of hypotension and bradycardia during greenlight laser TURP. Two patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy were scheduled for greenlight laser TURP under...

OBJECTIVE Cost containment has become an important issue in medical practice because of recent bad economic conditions. We analyzed the cost of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) patients and cost-effective analysis was carried out comparing transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), visual laser ablation of the prostate (VLAP) and transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT). MATERIALS & ME...

To the Editor—I enjoyed the article by Cho et al1 titled, “Early postoperative outcome of bipolar transurethral enucleation and resection of the prostate,” published in the December 2015 issue of Hong Kong Medical Journal. I noted with interest that the authors reported no urethral stricture, meatal stenosis, or bladder neck contracture at 3 months despite the larger prostates and more difficul...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a benign hyperplasia of prostate gland cells of the urethra affecting increasing population. The most common method of treatment is transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). But many complications may occur including intraoperative or postoperative hemorrhage, prostate perforation, urinary incontinence and bladder neck contracture. Transurethral ballo...

Urinary retention is a common urinary complication following brachytherapy for prostate cancer. When conservative therapy has failed, surgical intervention, such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), is performed. In the present case, it was found that conventional bipolar TURP was an inappropriate choice of therapy, since the electrical loop could easily rupture and discharge spar...

Background: TURP is the gold standard for endoscopic treatment of BPH. Nonetheless, it remains associated with significant morbidity, especially in terms hemorrhage leading to possible blood transfusion and delayed hospital discharge. TUVP reported improvements subjective objective measures but a high rate postoperative irritative symptoms lack tissue histologic examination. The concept behind ...
