The modified Millin retropubic prostatectomy significantly reduces bleeding during and after surgery compared to the classic transvesical prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This technique also lowers the need for blood transfusions in BPH patients.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Techniques
  • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) Management

Background:

  • Open prostatic adenectomy (OPA) is effective for BPH symptoms but carries a risk of peri-operative bleeding.
  • Controlling bleeding is crucial for patient safety during OPA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the efficacy of two OPA techniques in controlling surgical bleeding.
  • To evaluate blood loss and transfusion requirements between Millin modified retropubic prostatectomy and classical transvesical prostatectomy.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, randomized analysis of 62 men with BPH undergoing OPA.
  • Group 1: Millin modified retropubic prostatectomy; Group 2: Classical transvesical prostatectomy.
  • Analysis of intraoperative and postoperative blood loss, hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels.

Main Results:

  • Significantly less blood loss during surgery in the modified Millin group (362 mL) vs. classical group (640 mL) (P=0.007).
  • Greater decrease in hemoglobin levels post-surgery in the classical group (3.15 g/dL) vs. modified Millin group (1.76 g/dL) (P<0.001).
  • Fewer blood transfusions required in the modified Millin group (1) compared to the classical group (3).

Conclusions:

  • The modified Millin retropubic prostatectomy technique offers superior bleeding control during and after surgery for BPH.
  • This technique leads to reduced postoperative bleeding complications and transfusion rates compared to classical transvesical prostatectomy.
