Evaluation of Preoperative High Risk Factors as Score System in the Management of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasis
|
|
|

Abstract
|
|
|
To evaluate the preoperative high risk factors in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia, a score system has been devised which includes associated medical diseases and urologic complications such as urinary retention, urinary tract
infection
and uremia. A score of one to three was given for each high risk factor. The patients with a total score of one to three of each risk factor were regarded as grade I, four to six as grade II and more than seven as grade III. According to this
score
and
grade system, the high grade group showed the high incidence of postoperative complications and morbidities. So, the more careful preoperative evaluations and postoperative cares might be needed in the high risk patients. On the base of this
analysis,
if more further studies will be performed, we may expect that we have achieved low mortality and morbidity rates even in high operative risk patients.
