Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo reduce the complication by transurethral vaporesection of prostate (TUVP) using adjustable urethral tractor.
METHODSOne hundred and six cases with benign prostate hypertrophy underwent TUVP and catheter traction after operation by an adjustable tractor. The results by catheter traction were compared with those by rubberized cloth paste and carbasus compression.
RESULTThe urethral stricture occurred in 2.7%, 6.7%, 30.4% of cases by the catheter traction, rubberized cloth paste and carbasus compression respectively, which had statistical significance (P <0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe incidence of urethral stricture can be reduced by catheter traction after TUVP.
