Purpose: Persistent pyuria is one of the common complications after transurethral prostatectomy(TURP). Postoperative pyuria has an effect on postoperative voiding symptoms. Thus, postoperative urinalysis and urine culture are reliable indicators when following up voiding symptoms. In our study, possible preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative factors influencing the development and duration of pyuria and bacteriuria after TURP were evaluated.
Materials & Methods: Between January 2004 and November 2005, 82 patients who underwent TURP due to benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) were evaluated. The risk factors of the duration of the postoperative pyuria were divided into preoperative, intraoperative postoperative, and evaluated the differences and correlations according to these risk factors.
Results: The average durations of pyuria of 26 and 23 patients under and over the age of 70 were 4.12±2.69 and 6.61±4.51 weeks, respectively (p=0.03). The average duration of pyuria of 12 patients with no preoperative pyuria and 37 with preoperative pyuria were 4.97±3.12 and 6.25±5.55 weeks, respectively (p=0.04). Separating patients according to the resected volume of prostate, the average duration of pyuria of 16 and 33 patients with resected prostate volumes greater than and less than 7g were 3.56±2.16 and 6.12±4.20 weeks, respectively(p=0.03). The age and average duration of pyuria showed a positive correlation(p=0.031).
Conclusion: Significant differences were observed in the duration of pyuria according to age, preoperative pyuria and resected volume of prostate. (Korean J Urol 2007;48:199-205)
