RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transurethral resection of Prostate(TURP)combined with endocrine therapy in patients with advanced prostate cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 87 cases of late-stage prostate cancer with dysuria admitted between January 2014 and December 2017.We divided them into 2 groups.TURP group(n = 48)received transurethral resection of prostate,followed by regular endocrine therapy.The control group(n = 39)was only given regular endocrine therapy.Comparative analysis of indicators such as prostate-specific antigen before and after treatment,maximum urinary flow rate,residual urine volume,International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS),and 5-year survival rate was performed between the two groups.Results Three months after TURP surgery,the symptoms of urinary difficulty significantly improved,and various indicators showed significant improvement compared to before the surgery.PSA levels also notably decreased compared to before the surgery.After 3 months of treatment,the TURP group showed significant improvements in IPSS,Qmax,RV,and PSA indicators compared to the control group(P<0.05).Both groups of patients experienced a gradual decrease in PSA levels after receiving standardized treatment.In the first 12 months of treatment,the PSA levels in the TURP group decreased more significantly compared to the control group,but after 12 months of treatment,the comparison difference was not statistically significant in the PSA levels between the two groups(P = 0.056).A 5-year follow-up comparison of the two groups of patients revealed that there was no statistically significant difference in survival(P = 0.734).Conclusion Transurethral resection of Prostate(TURP)combined with regular endocrine therapy can effectively improve the dysuria in prostate cancer patients,improve the quality of life of patients,and will not affect the five-year survival rate.TURP is a safe and effective treatment for advanced prostate cancer.
RESUMO
Background: Benign hypertrophy of prostate is common disorder and benign neoplasm of man above 50 years of age. Around 30% patients with benign hypertrophy of prostate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) but all symptoms may not be due to benign hypertrophy of prostate (BHP). Present study has been designed for comparative evaluation of the outcome of medical and surgical management of symptoms, due to benign prostatic hyperplasia by using IPSS (international prostate score) and quality of life score as tool.Methods: In present study patients with LUTS, clinically diagnosed by per rectal digital examination and transrectal ultrasonographically confirmed cases of enlargement of prostate are enrolled for this study. Patients enrolled were divided equally in three groups.Results: After six month the mean IPSS score in silodosin (Sd) group was 6.55±0.86 and in Sd+Dutasteride (Dt) group it was 5.09±1.12. After six months mean IPSS score in Sd+Dt group was 5.09±1.12 and in TURP group it was 2.44±0.59.Conclusions: Single drug treatment with silodosin is associated with slow and less improvement in IPSS score in comparison with silodosin and dutasteride. But the response to TURP was better and faster than medical management.
RESUMO
Background: Transurethral resection of prostate syndrome (TURP) syndrome is an iatrogenic complication caused by absorption of the irrigating fluid which is used to distend the bladder during surgery.Methods: A total of 100 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were taken for study. Study was done in tertiary care centre in Gujarat from January 2016 to December 2017. They were evaluated pre-operative and post-operative for sodium concentration.Results: In this study most of the patients i.e. 32 were seen in age group 61- 65 years.31% cases have developed hyponatremia out of 6% were having serum sodium level <125 mEq/l. 56% of cases were having prostate gland <40 cc. In 70% cases, TURP was completed within 60 minutes, while 30% cases required more than 60 minutes time. 13 were seen in age group 51 to 60 years, means 40.62% patients of this age group (13/32) and 12 patients were seen in age group 71-80 years, means 52.17% patients of this age group (12/23) were having post-operative hyponatremia. Out of 31 patients, 20 patients (64.52%) were having prostate size more than 60 cc and 11 patients (35.48%) were having prostate size between 46 to 60 cc.Conclusions: From present study, it is concluded that electrolyte derangement occurs in older patients, with larger amount of tissue and longer time of resection and higher volume of irrigation fluid. It was also noticed that chances of electrolyte derangement are higher in patients with co-morbid conditions.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the analgesic and sedative effect of epidural dexmedetomidine injection in patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) and its effect on postoperative cognitive function. Methods A total of 60 patients undergoing TURP under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) were randomly divided into dexmedetomidine group and normal saline group. Patients in the dexmedetomidine group were given 0.1 μg/kg of dexmedetomidine injection after epidural anesthesia, and 0.9 μg/kg of dexmedetomidine was added into epidural analgesia pump after operation;patients in the normal saline group were given the same dose of normal saline. The vital signs, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Ramsay sedation score of patients in the two groups at different time points [before intervention (T0), after intervention for 15 min (T1), after intervention for 30 min (T2), after intervention for 45 min (T3), after intervention for 60 min (T4), after surgery for 12 h (T5), after surgery for 36 h (T6)] were recorded. The mini mental state examination (MMSE) of patients in the two groups 1 d before operation and 3 d after operation were recorded. Results Compared with normal saline group, the VAS scores of patients in dexmedetomidine group were significantly lower at T1-T6 (P<0.05), and the Ramsay scores were significantly higher (P<0.05). There was no significant difference of MMSE total score [25.00(23.50, 27.50) scores] in the patients of dexmedetomidine group 3 d after operation but the memory ability score [4.00(3.00, 5.00) scores] was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the language ability score [9.00(8.00, 9.00) scores] was significantly increased (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in MMSE score between the two groups in comparison with that 1 d before operation. Conclusions Epidural dexmedetomidine injection (1 μg/kg) enhancesd the analgesic effect of ropivacaine and producesd sedative effect. Although there was is no significant effect on the overall cognitive function, it might have some effect on memory function.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To compare the effectiveness of abdominal placement of indwelling Foley catheter (IFC)versus thigh traction in the prevention of bleeding and pain after transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP).@*PATIENTS AND METHODS@#This randomized, controlled trial involves 91 patients who underwent TURP atJRRMMC. After TURP, 46 patients were inserted with a urethral catheter which was then anchoredto the thigh and placed on traction, while the catheter was anchored to the abdomen without applicationof any traction in the remaining 45. A simple dipstick test was used to check for the presence of bloodin urine on the 12th and 24th hour after the surgery. Intensity of pain from the catheter was assessedprior to discharge using a visual analogue score (VAS).@*RESULTS@#There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the amount of bloodin the urine at the 12th hour (p=1.00) and 24th hour (p=0.427) after TURP. The mean VAS score wassignificantly higher for the thigh traction group (5.17 vs 1.51, p=0.0001). Additionally, there weremore patients in the IFC thigh traction group who complained of moderate (65% vs 4.4%, p= 0.0001)and severe (20% vs 4.4%, p= 0.0001) pain.@*CONCLUSION@#Abdominal placement of IFC post TURP is an effective, safe and comfortable way incontrolling post-operative bleeding post-TURP. This method can provide better pain control.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transurethral laser shovel type vaporresection-enucleation of the prostate (LS-VREP) based on the inter-layer of surgical capsule for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH),which was less 80 g weight.Methods From September 2013 to August 2016,a retrospective study was performed including 1 369 cases of BPH patients,who were treated by 120-160 W transurethral laser (straight green-light) shovel type vapor-resection-enucleation of the prostate (LS-VREP group,n =1 008) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP group,n =361).The preoperative data,including average age,prostate weight,IPSS,QOL,Qmax and PVR was reviewed.There was no significant difference of the above data between the two groups (P > 0.05).Operative time,changes of hemoglobin and serum sodium concentration,postoperative bladder irrigation time,catheter indwelling duration,hospital stay,pre-and 3 months post-operative IPSS,QOL,Q PVR were recorded.In addition,complications were monitored.Results Mean operation time of LS-VREP group was (46.1 ± 18.6) min,while TURP group was (48.2 ± 15.2) min,and there was no difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).Post-operative mean hemoglobin concentration and serum sodium concentration of LS-VREP group decreased (1.6 ± 1.2) g/L and (1.2 ± 0.6) mmol/L respectively,while those of TURP group decreased (5.7 ± 3.6) g/L and (3.2 ± 1.2) mmol/L,and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Mean post-operative catheter indwelling time,and post-operative hospital stay of LS-VREP group was (42.9 ± 12.7) h and (3.2 ± 0.6) d,while TURP group was (65.7 ± 15.4) h and (5.4 ± 1.2) d,and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).Comparatively IPSS,QOL,Qmax and PVR were all improved significantly in both groups at 3 months after operation (P < 0.05),but no significant difference was found between the two groups (P > 0.05).After three months' follow-up of post-operation,as for the complication rate,including TURS,bleeding requiring reoperation,incontinence,dysuria and erectile dysfunction,LS-VREP group (15/1 008) was less than that of TURP group (30/361,P < 0.05).Conclusions The LS-VREP based on the inter-layer of surgical capsule is safe and effective for the treatment of BPH patients whose prostate weight was less than 80 g.LS-VREP showed less intraoperative bleeding,faster postoperative recovery,and high safety,which is considered a safe,effective and optimized minimally invasive surgery.
RESUMO
@#<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>INTRODUCTION:</strong> Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is an acute phase reactant and an indirect measure of inflammation inside the body. Transurethral electrosurgical Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is the current gold standard for management of patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms. The success of operation is determined when after resection of the prostate following removal of indwelling Foley catheter several days postoperative, the patient is able to avoid freely without catheter. It is not mentioned whether the edema of the postoperative site or the persistent inflammation of the prostate after resection may cause the failureof trial of voiding without catheter (TWOC).<br /><strong>OBJECTIVE:</strong> The primary objective of this study was to determine if ESR can be a reliable predictor of success of in patients who underwent TURP for BPH.<br /><strong>METHODS:</strong> On the day of planned catheter removal , 4 milliliters of blood was extracted from the patient, placed in an Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) tube and sent to laboratory for ESR determination. One milliliterof EDTA-anticoagulated blood was placed in the Westergren tube. After 60 minutes, measurements were taken of the distance the red cells traveled to settle at the bottom of the tube. After catheter removal, patients were observed whether they can avoid freely without catheter or not. Patients who were not able to void within 4 to 6 hours were re-catheterized.<br /><strong>RESULTS:</strong> From January 2015 to April 2016, 135 patients with BPH who underwent TURP in East Avenue Medical Center were included in the analysis. Success of trial voiding without catheter was observed in 117 of 135 patients (87%; p=0.000). Patients ages varied varied from 49 to 80 years, overall. Among these patients, the average ESR was significantly lower (48 mm versus 56 mm, range = 17-109 mm; p=0.012). Presence of urinary retention (61%), history of cigarette smoking (56%), hypertension (61%), diabetes mellitus (50%), trabeculations in cystoscopy and prostate size less than 20 grams (17%) were more common among patients with unsuccessful TWOC. ESR (p=0.012) was an independent significant predictor of TWOC. Based on univariate analysis, Diabetes Mellitus (DM) (p=0.003), trabeculations in cystoscopy (p=0.000) and UTI (p=0.000) were also significantlyassociated with TWOC. Among the significant independent covariates, DM was a significant factor affecting the success rate of TWOC (p=0.005) based on multivariate analysis. Patients without DM were about 16 times more likely to have a successful TWOC (OR=15.750, 95% CI=2.335, 106.227).<br /><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate was significantly lower in patients with success of trial voiding without catheter. ESR is a reliable predictor of success of TWOC in patients who underwent TURP for BPH.</p>

Objective To explore the availability and safety of conducting low-pressure TURP assisted by a home-made cystometry and warning system.Methods 167 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients admitted from Jan 2014 to Jan 2016 were randomly assigned into cystostomy group (group A) and non-cystostomy group (group B). In group A (n = 85), 42 patients (group A1) were performed percutaneous cystostomy + TURP, and 43 (group A2) were performed continuous flushing sheath TURP. In group B (n = 82), 42 patients (group B1) were received percutaneous cystostomy + TURP, and 40 (group B2) were received continuous lfushing sheath TURP. In group A, bladder pressure was monitored in real time with a cystometry and was monitored by bladder puncture using a home-made siphon, ensuring low bladder pressure throughout TURP. Serum Na+ levels were measured before and after operation in all four groups. The operation time, the intraoperative bleeding, the weight of resected prostates and the time before which urine turned clear were recorded. The IPSS, maximum lfow rate (Qmax), postvoid residual volume (PVR) and life quality score (QOL) were evaluated.Results While no significant differences were found between group A1 and A2, there were significant differences between group B1 and B2, indicating cystostomy group was safer than non-cystostomy group. When compared group A1 with B1, or group A2 with B2, it showed that the safe operation time to perform prostate tissue resection was longer in cystostomy group; the weight of the resected prostates was heavier; the time before which urine turned clear were shorter; and the IPSS improvement was better. These findings presented better therapeutic effects in cystostomy group than in non-cystostomy group.Conclusions This home-made cystometry and warning system could timely detect high bladder pressure state during TURP, making it possible to avoid of high pressure, ensuring low bladder pressure lfushing during the operation, lengthening the safe operation time, increasing tissue resection ratio, reducing transurethral resection syndrome, thus helping TURP to be safer.

Background: Patients who are candidates for TURP are elderly with cardiovascular and respiratory diseases with anticipated problems during spinal anesthesia. Aim: To compare three different doses (5mg, 7.5mg and 10mg) of Bupivacaine after adding 25 mcg of fentanyl during spinal anesthesia in transurethral resection of prostate surgeries. Methods: Single blinded Randomized clinical study conducted in 75 patients. The subjects were allocated in to three groups. Group A - received Inj. 0.5% Bupivacaine 5 mg, Group B- received Inj. 0.5% Bupivacaine 7.5 mg, Group C - received Inj.0.5% Bupivacaine 10 mg added with 25 mcg of Fentanyl. Baseline and intraoperative vital parameters, time to sensory block at t10, maximum sensory height, time to two segment sensory regression, total duration of sensory blockade, grading of motor blockade and total duration of motor blockade were recorded. Results: Maximum sensory level achieved in Group A was T9, Group B T7 and in Group C it was T5. Time to T10 level in Group A was 7.88 ±0.80 minutes, Group B 5.41 ±0.50 minutes and Group C 3.33 ±0.65 minutes. Two segment sensory regression times in Group A was 56.8±13.61 minutes, Group B 79.58 ±25.32 minutes, and Group C was 116.25 ±9.35 minutes. Total duration of pain free interval in Group A was 84.6 ±20.41 minutes, Group B 104.12 ±45.89 minutes. Group C was 194.20 ±41.53 minutes. Conclusion: Low dose of Bupivacaine (5mg) with addition of Fentanyl 25μg can be used for painless TURP surgeries when compared to higher doses (7.5mg and 10 mg) without any major side effects and facilitates early discharge.
RESUMO
Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the commonest urological condition affecting men over 50 years of age. Medical therapy is usually the first line management of BPH. Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (5ARI), which blocks the conversion of testosterone into the more potent dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Materials and methods: We prospectively enrolled 54 BPH patients with prostate size ranging from 30-60 gm based on ultrasound, who were undergoing elective TURP at Gandhi Hospital for a period of 2 years from January 2013 to Jan 2015. BPH patients with hematuria, bothersome symptoms and refractory retention were included in the study. Results: Totally 54 BPH patients were enrolled in our study, 30 were randomized to finasteride group and 24 to controlled group. There was significantly less (p value <0.01) mean blood loss in irrigation fluid in the finasteride group compared to the control group (54.27 gm in finasteride group Vs 82.45gms in the control group; p value < 0,01) for each transurethral resection of prostate. Conclusion: Finasteride give daily for 2 weeks before transurethral prostate resection decreased bleeding preoperatively, thereby decreasing the requirement of blood transfusions, post operative episodes of hematuria and clot retention.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of modified YV-plasty for refractory bladder neck contracture (BNC) caused by transurethral resection of prostate (TURP).Methods From June 2013 to March 2016,11 patients with BNCs secondary to TURP were included in this study.Their mean age was 63.7 years (range,56-73 years).All patients presented voiding difficulty and failed after 2 or more prior endoscopic treatments.Modified YV-reconstruction of bladder neck was performed,by incising the anterior wall of bladder neck in a T-shaped manner,and creating two well-vascularized and tension-free flaps,which offer the possibility to reconstruct a wide bladder neck.Results After a mean follow-up of 14.6 months (ranging 3-24 months),successful outcome was achieved in 9 patients without incontinence secondary by surgery.Recurrent voiding difficulty developed in 2 patients,which was cured after a following endoscopic treatment.Conclusion A wider bladder neck can be obtained through modified YV-reconstruction of bladder neck,while avoiding external urethral sphincter injury.It is an available option for refractory bladder neck contracture.

Background: Spinal anesthesia is most frequently used for transurethral prostatectomy (TURP), because it permits early recognition of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) syndrome and bladder perforation. In this study, we compared the effects of low dose bupivacaine (5 mg) with fentanyl (25μg) and conventional dose of bupivacaine (7.5 mg) in elderly patients undergoing TURP. This comparative study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of addition of fentanyl 25 μg intra thecally to bupivacaine 5 mg and bupivacaine 7.5 mg alone for transurethral prostatectomy. Material and methods: The patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups, each having 30 patients. Group-A: Inj. Bupivacaine 5 mg (0.5%) (1ml) + Inj. Fentanyl 25 μg (0.5 ml). Group-B: Inj.Bupivacaine 7.5 mg (0.5%) (1.5 ml). A standard subarachnoid block was performed in L2-L3 / L3-L4 Space in sitting / lateral position with 22G/23G BD spinal edle (Quinky type, 3.5 inch long) under all aseptic and antiseptic precautions after local infiltration of skin and subcutaneous tissue with 2 cc 2 % lignocaine. Drugs were injected after checking of free flow of CSF and according to group selected. All the observations were recorded and all the results were analyzed statistically. Results: The mean time of onset sensory blockade was significantly shorter in group A than group B. Group A took less time to reach the peak sensory level (3.57 min) as compared to group B (5.8 min). Onset of motor blockade was delayed in group B as compared to group-A, and differences were statistically significant. Changes in pulse rate of all groups are statically not significant and comparable. The incidence of hypotension and shivering was significantly higher in group B as compared to group A. Conclusion: It was observed that intra thecal bupivacaine 5 mg combined with fentanyl 25 μg provided adequate anesthesia for TURP in elderly patients and is associated with lower incidence of hypotension and shivering than a conventional dose of bupivacaine. The addition of fentanyl improves the quality of block, increases duration of sensory block and makes the blockade hemodynamically more stable than conventional dose of bupivacaine.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of multiple treatments on cystospasm after transurethral resection of prostate(TURP). Methods From 2006 to 2013, 663 patients who had received TURP for BPH were civided into 6 groups:2 were treated by kieselgel or lac-toprene urethral catheter,defined as catheter observe group. 2 were treated by warmed or ordinary temperature douche,defined as temperature observe group. 2 were treated by dicaine mixed or normal douche,defined as mixed douche observe group. The incidence rates and duration of cystospasm and visual analogue scores of pain were observed and the diversities were measured by statistics within each pair groups. Results The incidence rates and duration of cystospasm and visual analogue scores of pain of groups treated by kieselgel urethral catheter,warmed douche and dicaine mixed douche were obviously lower than the groups treated by lactoprene urethral catheter,ordinary temperature douche and normal douche. The kieselgel urethral catheter and warmed douche decreasing the irritation on mucous membrane of bladder,the dicaine decreasing the sensibility of bladder nerves may be the mechanism. Conclusion The incidence rates and duration of cystospasm and visual analogue scores of pain can be obviously decreased by treatments of kieselgel urethral catheter,warmed douche and dicaine mixed douche.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate clinical value of transurethral bipolar plasma cutting and transurethral resection for benign prostatic hyperplasia,to provide a reference for clinical treatment.Methods 100 cases with benign prostatic hyperplasia were selected,according to surgical treatment,they were divided into control group and observation group.50 patients in the control group received TURP surgical treatment,50 patients in the observation group were given TUPKP surgical treatment.The patients were followed up for 3 months,the indwelling catheter time, weight and other clinical indicators of glandular tissue were compared,serum sodium and hemoglobin levels were observed,the quality of life index,international Prostate Symptom Score,complications and other indicators were compared. Results In the observation group,operative time was (60.54 ±8.37)min,blood loss was (108.43 ±21.27)mL, hospital stay was (7.09 ±2.25)d,which were shorter than those of the control group (70.24 ±12.22)min,(188.76 ± 21.36)mL,(8.63 ±2.76)d,the differences were statistically significant (t =5.441,P =0.012;t =8.326,P =0.001;t =6.216,P =0.006).In the observation group after three months,maximum flow rate was (18.95 ±4.11)mL/s, residual urine volume was (28.74 ±4.55)mL,IPSS was (5.12 ±1.27)points,QOL was (1.43 ±0.24)scores, which were better than those of the control group (14.24 ±3.77)mL/s,(20.85 ±5.11)mL,IPSS(6.95 ±1.44)points, QOL(2.03 ±0.32)points,the differences were statistically significant (t =8.763,P =0.000;t =7.616,P =0.003;t =5.472,P =0.011;t =8.044,P =0.002).The incidence rate of complication in the observation group was 10.00%, which was significantly lower than 22.00% in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =5.437,P =0.012).Conclusion TUPKP treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia has significant clinical effect, which can effectively improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life with good safety,it is worthy of clinical application.
RESUMO
Objective To discuss influence of different anesthetic methods on postoperative serum excitatory amino acid (EAA) levels and cognitive function of elderly patients operated with transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). Methods A total of 100 cases of elderly patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), in Department of Anesthesiol-ogy of the hospital to be given the TURP operation at certain time were selected, and divided into general anesthesia group (n=50) and epidural group (n=50) in accordance with different anesthetic methods, who were given intubation anesthesia and epidural anesthesia respectively. The changes of serum EAA levels and cognitive function before anes-thesia, 4 hours, 8 hours, one day and four days after the operation of patients in two groups were observed and record-ed. Results Serum EAA levels 4 hours, 8 hours and one day after the operation of patients in two groups rose than be-fore (P<0.05), and the rising rates in epidural group were much lower than those in general anesthesia group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, MMSE scores of patients in two groups 4 hours, 8 hours and one day after the operation declined than be-fore (P<0.05), and the declining rates in epidural group were much lower than those in general anesthesia group (P<0.05). Four days after operation, the serum EAA levels and MMSE scores of patients in two groups returned to the levels before anesthesia (P>0.05). Conclusion Both intubation anesthesia and epidural anesthesia have effect on early cogni-tive function of elderly patients operated with TURP, and the former has less influence on early cognitive function of patients, which may have close effect on the lower rising rate of serum EAA level by epidural anesthesia.
