Abstract:
Objective To summarize the effect of transurethral vaporization of the prostate (TUVP) in combination with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods A combined use of TUVP and TURP was carried out for treating 122 cases of BPH. There were 8 cases of Rous stage Ⅰ disease, 58 cases of stage Ⅱ, 32 cases of stage Ⅲ, and 24 cases of Ⅳ. Results The length of duration of the operation was 20~140 min (mean, 68 min). The intraoperative blood loss was 40~200 ml (mean, 80 ml). A blood transfusion of 200 ml was required in 2 cases after the operation. No transurethral resection syndrome (TURS) occurred. The mean postoperative catheterization time was 6 days. All 122 patients had been followed for 4~19 months (mean, 10 months). The international prostate symptom score (IPSS) decreased from 30.2?2.3 pre-)operation to 10.8?2.5 post-operation (t=10.84,P=0.000); the residual urine (RU) decreased from 252.6?65.3 ml pre-operation to 35.6?10.4 ml post-operation (t=23.52,P=0.000); the maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) increased from 8.5?2.8 ml/s to 20.6?3.8 ml/s (t=6.67,P=0.000). Postoperatively, transient urinary incontinence was observed in 2 cases, and anterior urethral stricture occurred in 2 cases. Conclusions Combined use of transurethral electrovaporization and resection of the prostate for the treatment of BPH gives satisfactory effects.
