Abstract:
Objective To study the reasons leading to readmission in patients with severe postoperative complications after transurethral prostatectomy. Methods Clinical data of 27 cases of readmission after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP, 14 cases), transurethral vaporization of prostate (TUVP, 3 cases), transurethral laser prostatectomy (TULP, 9 cases) or holmium laser enucleation of prostate (1 case) in this hospital from June 1998 to June 2003 were analyzed. Results Reason leading to readmission included: postoperative severe bleeding in bladder (4 cases), urinary retention (15 cases), urethral stricture (3 cases), bladder neck contracture (2 cases), severe urinary frequency (2 cases) and urinary incontinence (1 case). Conclusions More weight should be placed on the fact that various modes of transurethral prostatectomy may precipitate severe long-term complications.
