A descriptive study of post-operative complications of transurethral resection of prostate
Keywords:
prostate, benign prostatic hyperplasia, transurethral resection prostate, post-operative, complications, investigationsAbstract
Introduction: Because of the introduction of improved technology like diathermy and visual scopes, Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) has become a comparatively safer treatment in recent years. However, there is a danger of developing TURP syndrome and electrolyte imbalance, particularly in individuals with high-risk cardiac disease. Aim: This study was performed for the identification of course, duration, and occurrence of complications in post-operative patients with TURP. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study comprising 52 patients was conducted at C.U. Shah Medical College and Hospital, Surendranagar, Gujarat, India from 8th February 2019 to 1st November 2020, covering 20 months. Results: The study focused on the distribution of patients as per age and post-op complications, co-morbid conditions, DRE grading, etc. Also, the study correlates the volume of the prostate with post-operative complications, prostate volume with S-PSA, etc. Furthermore, the study focused on early complications after TURP as well as late post-operative complications after TURP. Conclusion: This descriptive observational study highlighted several postoperative complications after TURP. It was observed that the incidence of complication rate is increasing with an increasing volume of the prostate.
