Summary

This study introduces a prostatectomy technique using lateral capsular transfixing sutures, significantly reducing operative hemorrhage in patients with prostatic hypertrophy. This method ensures minimal blood loss during and after the extracapsular prostatectomy procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Prostatic hypertrophy necessitates surgical intervention.
  • Minimizing blood loss during prostatectomy is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe extracapsular prostatectomy using lateral capsular transfixing sutures.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of this technique in reducing operative hemorrhage.

Main Methods:

  • A total of 117 patients with prostatic hypertrophy underwent the described surgical procedure.
  • Lateral capsular transfixing sutures were applied at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions post-adenomectomy.
  • Intraoperative and postoperative hemorrhage were quantified using five variables.

Main Results:

  • Average intraoperative blood loss was 175 cc.

  • Average minimal decrease in hematocrit was 3.9%.
  • Postoperative bleeding primarily occurred through urethral and suprapubic catheters.

    • Conclusions:

    • Extracapsular prostatectomy with lateral capsular transfixing sutures results in minimum operative hemorrhage.
    • This technique offers a safe and effective approach for managing prostatic hypertrophy with reduced bleeding.
