Abstract:
Objective To explore the causes of readmission after prostatectomy for BPH and to discuss the treatment approaches. Methods A total of 106 cases who were eligible for the study were reviewed.47 cases had residual and recurrent adenoma;of these cases,42 underwent TURP and 5 open prostatectomy again.32 cases developed urethral stricture;of these cases 27 underwent transurethral cold knife incision plus electric resection of scar and 3 urethral orifice reconstruction and 2 suprapubic cystostomy.11 cases who had experienced bleeding after TURP underwent transurethral bladder washing and coagulating.7 cases had neuropathic bladder dysfunction;of these cases 2 underwent transurethral bladder neck circle muscle resection,3 intermittent self-catheterization and 2 suprapubic cystostomy.6 cases had prostatic cancer;of these cases 1 underwent radical prostatectomy,3 palliative TURP plus orchiectomy and 2 orchiectomy.2 cases had incontinence after TURP;of the 2 cases 1 used external collecting device and 1 was transfered to other hospital for surgery.1 case had abdominal incision hernia and then underwent hernia repair. Results Among 106 cases, 97 cases underwent operations and of them 84 (86.6%) cases achieved successful results.The follow-up time was 6 months to 15 years with a mean of 5 years and 8 months.9 cases with urethral stricture required regular urethral dilation after surgery.4 cases who had had unsuccessful surgery underwent suprapubic cystostomy.Other 9 cases did not undergo operations due to poor health and other reasons. Conclusions Correct preoperative diagnosis, rational surgical type and adequate intraoperative and postoperative management are key to preventing readmission. Transurethral surgery is most favorable treatment choice for readmitted patients after prostatectomy for BPH.
