ABSTRACT
In spite of the development of non-invasive strategies, surgical treatment of the prostate (TURP) and, mostly transurethral resection, is the most effective choice for patients suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia who do not respond properly to pharmacological treatment. Absorption of hypotonic fluids used during TURP may cause hemodynamic and central nervous system disturbances. These symptoms, both taken separately or as a whole, are best known as "Transurethral prostatic resection syndrome" or "TURP syndrome". The original description of this syndrome dates from half a century ago; however, a number of items regarding its physiopathology and treatment remain unclear. We present a review of this pathological entity, compiling diagnostic and therapeutical approaches.
