Summary
Two patients experienced urinary retention after complex vascular surgery due to large prostatic infarction. This condition
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Vascular Surgery
- Pathophysiology
Background:
- Postoperative urinary retention is a known complication.
- Prostatic infarction is a rare but serious condition.
Observation:
- Two cases of massive prostatic infarction following complicated vascular operations were observed.
- These cases resulted in significant postoperative urinary retention.
Findings:
- Massive prostatic infarction can lead to severe urinary retention.
- The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are complex and multifactorial.
Implications:
- Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for managing similar cases.
- This highlights the importance of vigilance for rare complications in vascular surgery.
