[Using setegis (terasosine) in early postoperative period after transurethral prostate resection]

TUR of the prostatic gland for prostatic adenoma was made in 93 patients aged 54-81 years (mean age 64.4 +/- 7.5 years). The patients were divided into two groups. Patients of group 1 (n = 31) received no alpha-adrenoblockers, those of group 2 (n = 62) received terasosine in pre- and postoperative period. Group 2 patients demonstrated significant improvement in clinical parameters, postoperative hospital stay for them decreased by 11.3%, side effects were insignificant, their residual urine early after operation was 26.3 +/- 8.6 cm3 while 4 weeks after TUR it was 16.3 +/- 6.9 cm3. Thus, terasosine (setegis) can be recommended for use in early postoperative period after TUR of the prostate for prostatic adenoma as an effective and safe drug improving postoperative outcome.
