    Transurethral prostatectomy (T.U.R.) can lead to significant blood loss, averaging 464 ml. This blood loss is a key risk factor, particularly for elderly patients undergoing the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Transurethral prostatectomy (T.U.R.) is a common procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
    • Assessing blood loss is crucial for patient safety, especially in elderly populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify intraoperative and postoperative blood loss in patients undergoing T.U.R.
    • To identify blood loss as a potential risk factor in T.U.R. procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied 27 patients undergoing T.U.R.
    • Measured intraoperative blood loss in all patients.
    • Measured postoperative blood loss for 72 hours in 12 patients.

    Main Results:

    • Average total blood loss (T.U.R. + 72 hours) was 464 ml.

  • Blood loss was found to be relatively high in this patient series.
  • Conclusions:

    • Significant blood loss is associated with T.U.R.
    • Blood loss represents a major risk factor for elderly patients undergoing T.U.R.
