We report a case of unusual presentation of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) syndrome. A 58-year-old male patient with grade III benign hypertrophic hyperplasia was scheduled for TURP under spinal anesthesia. At 120 min of surgery, the patient presented with atypical symptoms of tightness in the chest with difficulty in breathing. The electrolyte analysis revealed an acute hyponatremi...

W henever irrigation fluid enters the intravascular space, dangerous complications can arise. This is best described as the transurethral resection of the prostate (TURF’) syndrome. The syndrome has also been reported after endometrial ablation (l-5) and ureteroscopic procedures with irrigating solutions (6-8). TURF’ syndrome may occur as quickly as 15 minutes after resection starts (9-ll), or ...

BACKGROUND To compare transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy of the prostate and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for detection of prostate cancer (PCa) in patients with moderate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) by retrospective chart review. METHODS Between January 2004 and December 2008, a total of 520 patients, aged 50.3-81.5 years, with moderate LUTS (International P...

Subcutaneous emphysema is a very rare and good-natured complication after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). It has been reported as colon perforation, diverticulitis, and bladder perforation associated complication previously. We report the first case of a wide subcutaneous emphysema due to microperforations of prostatic capsule, without a bladder perforation after TURP. Any sign of c...

INTRODUCTION A little deeper resection was done during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) to fill the disparities of reported prevalence rates between latent and incidental prostate cancer, as well as in order not to overlook clinically significant incidental cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed TURP in 995 patients who were diagnosed to ...

Abstract Background Different treatment options are available for the management of BPH. Our study aimed to compare surgical outcomes a holmium laser enucleation prostate (HoLEP) and bipolar transurethral resection (Bipolar-TURP) after 2 years. Methods prospective randomized included 114 patients: 55 patients underwent HoLEP procedure 59 TURP procedure. All complete preoperative assessment phys...

We studied predictors for the progression of incidental prostate cancer (PCa) to optimize the management strategies that are still controversial in the era of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). We performed advanced transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in 995 patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Of these, 226 patients (22.7%) had incidental PCa. Included in the present study...

INTRODUCTION We summarize the current guidelines, techniques, efficacy and complications associated with monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Patients who elect to have endoscopic surgical bladder outlet reduction are faced with an abundance of evolving treatment options. As new technol...
