Abstract:
From November 1999 to November 2000, we observed the preoperative uroflows of all patients with prostatic neoplasm diseases. There were 94 patients (mean age 70.5(8.08) who had indications for TURP. The Qmax was 7.67(mL/s; voided volume was 261.8(142.4mL. The patterns of uroflow consisted 0f 64% obstructed, 14% intermittent, 19% interrupted and 3% normal. We noticed that 93.6% of all patients with symptoms of bladder outlet obstructions involved in our research had abnormal uroflows. We also had to consider the relationship of automatic and visual interpretations of uroflowmeters results. In patients with voided volume under 150mL, Bristol monogram is a very useful tool for correcting Qmax.
