Introduction.
For decades, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has been the “gold standard” operation for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) but is based mainly on historic data.
The historic data lacks use of validated measures and current TURP differs significantly from that performed 30 years ago.
Methods.
Men who had undergone TURP between 2001 and 2005 were reviewed.
International prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life (QOL) and peak urinary flow rate (Qmax), and postvoid residual (PVR) were recorded.
Operative details and postoperative complications were documented.
Patients were then invited to attend for repeat assessment.
Results.
91 patients participated.
Mean follow-up time was 70 months.
Mean follow-up results were IPSS—7; QoL—1.5; Qmax—23 mL/s; PVR—45 mL.
These were an improvement from baseline of 67%, 63%, 187%, and 80%, respectively.
Early complication rates were low, with no blood transfusions, TUR syndrome, or deaths occurring.
Urethral stricture rate was higher than anticipated at 14%.
Conclusion.
This study shows modern TURP still produces durable improvement in voiding symptoms which remains comparable with historic studies.
This study, however, found a marked drop in early complications but, conversely, a higher than expected incidence of urethral strictures.
