Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Patient Outcomes

Context:

  • Retrospective analysis of 364 transvesical prostatectomies for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) performed between 1972 and 1988.
  • Data collected from the Department of Urology, Kaohsiung Medical College Hospital.
  • Evaluates surgical outcomes, complications, and mortality rates associated with the procedure.

Purpose:

  • To assess the efficacy and complication rates of transvesical prostatectomy in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  • To determine the incidence of post-operative complications, including wound infections, incontinence, strictures, and impotence.
  • To evaluate the relationship between prophylactic vasectomy and epididymitis/orchitis.

Summary:

  • Average procedure time was 116.1 minutes, with an average tissue resection of 38.3 grams.

  • Common complications included wound infections (6.8%), urethral stricture (4.12%), and stress incontinence (1.92%).
  • Mortality rate was 0.27%, with one postoperative death. Prophylactic vasectomy did not prevent epididymitis.

    • Impact:

    • A significant post-operative wound infection rate (6.86%) necessitates longer hospitalization and increased antibiotic use.
    • The findings suggest a declining role for transvesical prostatectomy, recommending it primarily for select patients with concurrent genitourinary conditions.
    • Highlights the need for careful patient selection and consideration of alternative BPH treatments.
