Abstract:
After TURP, the symptom improved clinically with the mean international prostatic symptom score (IPPS) decreasing from 26 to 4 (84.6%). The mean average flow rate increased from 3 (range 2-7) before treatment to 13 (range 10-17) at after 3 months of follow up. The mean operative duration was 43.8 min (range 20-120). Most patients had their catheter removed within 48-72h and were discharged on the 3rd day after TURP. None of patients suffered a complication as TURP syndrome, urethral stenosis. Two serious heamorrhage (2.7%) required a blood transfusion. Six urinary tract infections were affected (8%).
