Abstract:
The results of TUR and open surgery in benign prostatic hyperplasia were compared in 72 cases of TUR and 48 cases of open surgery from July 1980 to June 1987. The results were as follows; 1. Mean operation time was shorter in TUR than open surgery(106.9min. in open surgery, 87.4min. in TUR). 2. Mean weight of resected prostate was heavier in open surgery than TUR(57.5gm in open surgery, 18.1gm in TUR). 3. Mean blood loss during operation was widely different between two groups(547.2ml in open surgery, 281.6ml in TUR), and no blood was required in 19.4% of TUR. 4. Mean hospitalization and catheter indwelling periods were shorter in TUR than open surgery(mean hospitalization ; 13 days in open surgery and 8.6 days in TUR). 5. Total complication rate was 25.1% in open surgery and 20.8% in TUR, the most predominant complication was rebleeding in open surgery and urinary incontinence in TUR.
