[Simultaneous treatment for benign prostate hyperplasia and its concomitant diseases]

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Surgical Oncology
• Gastroenterology

Context:

• Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) frequently coexists with other urological and surgical conditions.
• Managing these comorbidities simultaneously can optimize patient care and reduce overall treatment burden.

Purpose:

• To evaluate the efficacy and safety of performing simultaneous surgical procedures for BPH and concomitant diseases.
• To assess the outcomes of combined surgical interventions including transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), herniorrhaphy, and bladder tumor resection.

Summary:

• A review of 114 operations for BPH patients undergoing simultaneous procedures demonstrated successful outcomes.
• Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) yielded good results, with no recurrence of inguinal hernia or vesical calculus in treated cases.
• While most urethral stricture cases resolved, some required post-operative dilatation, and a subset of bladder tumors necessitated repeat transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBt).

Impact:

• This study supports the simultaneous surgical management of BPH with common comorbidities, potentially improving patient convenience and reducing healthcare costs.
• The findings highlight the feasibility of combining TURP with procedures for inguinal hernia, urethral stricture, bladder tumors, and vesical calculus, with generally positive results.
