Abstract

|
We managed 118 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia by transurethral resection during January 1994 and December 1995 in Eul Ji Medical Center and all patients were operated upon by 2 staff doctors. Among 118 cases, 7 cases with
intraoperative
complications such as bladder injury or severe prostatic capsule injury and 8 cases with combined neuropathic bladder or chronic urinary retention and 2 cases with urethral stricture were excluded. The average age of 101 cases were 66.4 years old
(50-92), and average weight of resected adenoma was 10.0gm (2-32). We categorized these patients randomly into 2 groups. In group I (n=48), we removed the urethral catheter within 2 days after TURP and in group II(n=53), we removed it after 3
days
(mean
4.2 days) following surgery. the average hospital stay postoperatively was 4.1 days in group I and 7.4 days in group II. Recatheterization rate was 8.3%(4/48) in group I and 5.6% (3/53) in group II (p>0.05). There was no statistical difference in
other
complication including study supports early catheter removal after TURP would become an accepted and routine postsurgical practice following uncomplicated TURP.
