Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Surgical Outcomes

Context:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men.
  • Surgical interventions are frequently employed to manage BPH symptoms.
  • Evaluating the impact of BPH surgery on sexual function is crucial for patient well-being.

Purpose:

  • To assess the postoperative sexual activity and ejaculation patterns in patients undergoing surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  • To compare the incidence of sexual dysfunction between transvesical adenomectomy and transurethral resection (TUR) for BPH.

Summary:

  • A retrospective study analyzed 57 BPH patients, excluding 19 with no pre/post-operative sexual activity.
  • Transvesical adenomectomy (27 cases) and TUR (11 cases) were performed.

  • Postoperative impotence affected 8% (not statistically significant between techniques).
  • Retrograde ejaculation occurred in 58% of patients (70% after open surgery, 27.2% after TUR).

    • Impact:

    • Findings highlight a high incidence of retrograde ejaculation following BPH surgery, particularly open procedures.
    • The study emphasizes the need for prospective research with standardized terminology to establish definitive conclusions on surgical techniques and sexual function.
    • Results inform patient counseling regarding potential sexual side effects of BPH surgical treatments.
