Transcervical prostatectomy offers a safe and effective surgical option for patients. This study highlights its low morbidity and early discharge rates, making it a valuable technique.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
  • Minimally invasive surgical techniques are sought to reduce postoperative complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of transcervical prostatectomy.
  • To assess the postoperative morbidity and recovery associated with this surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 175 consecutive patients undergoing transcervical prostatectomy.
  • Evaluation of outcomes using mean weighted scores and assessment of postoperative complications.

Main Results:

  • Low incidence of urinary complications, with no suprapubic urinary fistulas, clot retention, or incontinence observed.

  • Recatheterization was needed in only 2 patients due to bladder atony.
  • Wound infection occurred in 3.4% of patients; overall morbidity was minimal.
  • Early discharge was achieved, with 77% of patients discharged before the fifth postoperative day.
  • A single mortality occurred on the second postoperative day.

    • Conclusions:

    • Transcervical prostatectomy demonstrates a favorable safety profile with low morbidity.
    • The technique facilitates early patient recovery and discharge.
    • This approach presents a viable alternative for prostate surgery, with merits comparable to other reported studies.
