Absorption of irrigant fluid during endoscopic urological procedures like transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) is a serious risk. This review covers the incidence, causes, and prevention of excessive fluid absorption during these minimally invasive surgeries.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Endoscopic urological procedures such as transurethral prostatectomy (TURP), percutaneous nephrolithotomy, and endoureteric procedures are increasingly common.
  • These minimally invasive techniques offer significant advantages over traditional open surgeries.
  • However, a major complication associated with these procedures is the absorption of irrigant fluid.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the incidence of excessive irrigant fluid absorption during endoscopic urological procedures.
  • To identify the causes contributing to irrigant fluid absorption.
  • To discuss the pathological consequences and propose preventive strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on irrigant fluid absorption in endoscopic urological surgery.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of reported complications and their underlying mechanisms.
  • Synthesis of current knowledge on prevention and management.

    • Main Results:

    • Excessive irrigant fluid absorption is a significant and potentially fatal complication.
    • Multiple factors contribute to fluid absorption, including operative time, surgical technique, and patient factors.
    • Pathological sequelae can range from fluid overload to severe hyponatremia and central nervous system effects.

    Conclusions:

    • Minimally invasive endoscopic urological procedures carry a risk of irrigant fluid absorption.
    • Understanding the causes and sequelae is crucial for patient safety.
    • Implementing preventive measures can mitigate the incidence and severity of this complication.
