Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Auditing
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) is a common procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  • Establishing a safe and effective TURP service in district general hospitals is crucial for patient care.
  • Monitoring surgical outcomes is essential for quality improvement and patient safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To audit the safety and efficacy of a new transurethral prostatectomy service.
  • To evaluate the outcomes of TURP performed in a district general hospital setting.
  • To compare local TURP data with national and teaching hospital experiences.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective audit of 304 prostatectomy procedures over 7.25 years.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, indications for surgery, and operative outcomes.
  • Documentation of complications, retention rates, uraemia, and operative mortality.

Main Results:

  • 91% of prostatectomies were performed via TURP.
  • Patient retention rate was 52%, with 16% experiencing uraemia.
  • The operative mortality rate for TURP was 1.0%.

Conclusions:

  • Transurethral prostatectomy can be safely and effectively provided in a district general hospital.
  • The TURP service is essential for the efficient functioning of surgical departments.
  • Continuous auditing ensures the ongoing safety and efficacy of TURP procedures.
