Purpose: To evaluate possible factors affecting urethral stricture development after TURP in patients with BPH.
Materials and Methods: We reviewed retrospectively medical records of patients who underwent TURP for 6 years. All operations were performed by 2 experienced doctors who have minimum 200 practices. Patients were classified into 2 groups. Group A included patients with urethral stricture required periodic urethral dilation or urethrotomy. Group B included those without urethral stricture development after TURP. We analyzed all possible factors such as resection time, prostate volume, resection volume, resectoscope size, preoperative catheterization duration due to AUR, postoperative catheterization duration, preoperative pyuria, prostate needle biopsy performed preoperatively and PSA level, age and co-morbid systemic diseases.
Results: 595 patients underwent TURP between 2000 and 2005. 76 of them were excluded because of preexisting urethral stricture or secondary TURP. 110 were categorized into group A and 409 into group B. There was no statistical difference between group A and B with respect to age, preoperative catheterization duration in patients with AUR, postoperative catheterization duration, prostate volume, resection volume, preoperative PSA level, preoperative pyuria, preoperative biopsy history, resectoscope size(22F vs 24F) and anesthesia method (general vs spinal), respectively. However, there is significant difference between group A and B in comparison of resection time(58.5+/-21.6 min vs 48.5+/-23.2 min, p=0.02).
Conclusion: Our data demonstrate that the shortening of resection time is the most important single factor to decrease urethral stricture formation after TURP in patients with BPH.
