Open subcapsular prostatectomy resulted in a higher incidence of postsurgical epididymitis compared to transurethral resection. Preoperative catheterization and postoperative urinary tract infection were also linked to epididymitis development.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Prostatectomy is a common procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.
  • Understanding postsurgical complications like epididymitis is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the incidence of postsurgical epididymitis between transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) and open subcapsular prostatectomy (OSP).
  • To identify factors associated with epididymitis following these prostatectomy procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 2,407 patients undergoing TURP and 308 patients undergoing OSP.
  • Statistical comparison of epididymitis incidence between the two surgical approaches.
  • Analysis of factors including prostate weight, operating time, preoperative catheterization, and postoperative urinary tract infection (UTI).

Main Results:

  • Postsurgical epididymitis occurred in 1.0% of TURP patients versus 3.2% of OSP patients (P < 0.05).
  • Prostate weight and operating time correlated with epididymitis and UTI incidence.
  • Preoperative catheterization and postoperative UTI were significantly associated with epididymitis.

Conclusions:

  • Open subcapsular prostatectomy is associated with a higher risk of postsurgical epididymitis compared to transurethral prostatectomy.
  • Preoperative catheterization and postoperative UTI are significant risk factors for developing epididymitis after prostatectomy.
