Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains one of the goldstandard surgical treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia/lower urinary tract symptoms. The usefulness of a complete adenoma r...
Retrospective analysis of 185 men undergoing TURP in one university hospital. Retrieved data included pre-operative prostate volume and Qmax, as well as resected prostate weight and post-operative Qma...
A correlation was found between absolute resected prostate weight and post-operative Qmax in the group of patients with pre-operative Qmax < 10 mL/s (r2 = 0.038, p = 0.032), independently of the pre-o...
Patients with pre-operative Qmax ≥ 10 mL/s may do well with less profound prostate resections, whereas patients with lower pre-operative Qmax seem to benefit from a complete adenoma resection....
To assess the role of bladder emptying on outcomes of males undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)....
This prospective study involved candidates for TURP (January 2017-2018) with a follow-up of 3 years. Preoperative and follow-up evaluation comprised: UF, simple PVR (S-PVR), PVR-Ratio (PVR-R) as the r...
Patients recruited were 100 (mean ± SD age: 68.8 ± 8.7 years). No patient had severe complications, re-admission, nor needed blood transfusion. At baseline, 38% of the patients showed S-PVR ≤ 50 mL, 6...
Bladder emptying is only partially related to TURP outcomes and other preperative parameters. Patients with baseline S-PVR lower than 100 mL had the chance of greater recovery of bladder emptying afte...
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in elderly males, and many kinds of minimally invasive procedures can be used for the treatment of BPH. However, various procedures have caused s...
This study aimed to explore differences of clinical efficacy, surgical features, and complications between transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and plasmakinetic enucleation of the prostate ...
A total of eligible 850 cases of BPH underwent TURP (the TURP group, 320 cases) or PKEP (the PKEP group, 530 cases) in the urology department of our hospital from March 2015 to 2018 were involved in t...
The operative time, intraoperative irrigation volume, postoperative hemoglobin, decrease in hemoglobin, postoperative irrigation time and volume, catheterization time, and hospital stay of the PKEP gr...
The clinical efficacy of PKEP is compared favorably with TURP during midterm follow-up. Given the merits such as less blood loss and hospital stay, lower complications, PKEP should be given a priority...
Acute urinary retention (AUR) is one of the most severe symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). There are some studies in the literature describing the risk factors for the development of AUR ...
Between 2018 and 2020, patients who underwent TUR-P for AUR or lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) were included in the study. The inclusion criteria were, men over 50 years old with a BPH diagnosis a...
There were 14 and 46 patients for AUR and Elective Groups respectively. The age, pre-operative prostate volume, free and total PSA values, postoperative complication rate, and re-hospitalization rate ...
Patients who underwent TUR-P after AUR have a higher risk for complications and re-hospitalization. Care should be taken in these patients and patients should be warned about the risks....
To determine the safety and efficacy of transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) in patients 85 years or older....
In this retrospective, multicentre study, patients equal or older than 85 years at the time of surgery (2015-2020) were included. Several pre-, peri- and postoperative parameters were collected. The m...
One hundred sixty-eight patients (median age: 87 years, interquartile range [IQR]: 86-89) were recruited. The patients took on average 5.2 permanent medications (3-8), 107 (64%) were anticoagulated pr...
This retrospective multicentre study documents the safety and efficacy of TURP (monopolar and bipolar) in the old-old cohort....
Despite advances in technology, such as advent of laser enucleation and minimally invasive surgical therapies, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains the most widely performed surgical...
This observational study used data from patients who underwent TURP at two institutions between January 2011 and December 2021 Data from patients with previous BPH surgical treatment, incomplete data,...
In 268 patients without prior BPH medication, there were no differences in prostate volume (PV), transitional zone volume (TZV), or RV according to IPSS. A total of 60 patients started retreatment, in...
Maximal TURP leads to improved postoperative outcomes and reduced retreatment rate, it may gradually become a requirement rather than an option....
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of TURP on erectile function (EF) and ejaculatory function (EJF)....
A total of 91 patients who underwent TURP were retrospectively assessed. Patients were divided into two groups based on International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5): group A included 41 patients ...
In group A, there were no significant statistical differences in mean IIEF-5 at baseline and after TURP 22.88 ± 0.81 versus 22.63 ± 2.63 (p = 0.065). However, in group B, there was significant improve...
The results confirmed that TURP has no significant negative influence on EF, and patients with preexisting ED were improved after TURP. On the contrary, the loss of EJF was significant....
To compare the cost effectiveness of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) with that of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of medically refractory benign prostatic hyperpla...
A cost-effectiveness analysis with Markov modeling was performed, comparing the clinical course after PAE with that after TURP for 3 years. Probabilities were obtained from the available literature, a...
Base case calculation showed comparable outcomes (PAE, 2.845 QALY; TURP, 2.854 QALY), with a cost difference of $3,104 (PAE, $2,934; TURP, $6,038). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was $360,24...
PAE is a cost-effective strategy to treat medically refractory BPH, resulting in comparable health benefits at a lower cost than that of TURP even when accounting for extreme alterations in adverse ev...
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the most frequently used treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia with a prostate volume of <80 mL. A long-term complication is bladder neck contractu...
We conducted a retrospective analysis of all TURP primary procedures which were performed at one academic institution between 2013 and 2018. All patients were analyzed and compared with regard to post...
We included 1368 patients in this analysis. Out of these, 88 patients (6.4%) developed BNC requiring further surgical therapy. The following factors showed a statistically significant association with...
BNC is a relevant long-term complication after TURP. In particular, patients with a smaller prostate should be thoroughly informed about this complication....
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) compared to bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (bTUR-P) in the treatment of benign p...
A total of 220 BPH patients hospitalized from January 2022 to September 2023 were included in this study. These patients were randomly assigned to HoLEP and bTUR-P groups, with 110 participants in eac...
The baseline characteristics of patients in both groups were similar, with no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Compared to the bTUR-P group, the HoLEP group exhibited significantly less intraopera...
After comprehensive evaluation, HoLEP was superior to bTUR-P in terms of safety and efficacy. Therefore, HoLEP may be a preferable choice for the treatment of BPH....
