    Cooling irrigant solution to 2°C significantly reduces blood loss during Transurethral Resection (T.U.R.) procedures. This simple method decreased operative blood loss sixfold, offering a practical approach for improved surgical outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Minimally Invasive Procedures

    Background:

    • Transurethral Resection (T.U.R.) is a common urological procedure.
    • Significant blood loss can complicate T.U.R. operations.
    • Existing methods to control bleeding have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a simple method for reducing blood loss during T.U.R.
    • To assess the efficacy of cooling irrigant solution.
    • To quantify the impact of hypothermic irrigation on operative bleeding.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel technique involving cooling the irrigant solution (glycine) to 2°C using a domestic refrigerator.
    • Application of this method during T.U.R. procedures.
    • Measurement and comparison of blood loss in cooled versus non-cooled irrigation groups.

    Main Results:

    • Cooling the irrigant solution to 2°C resulted in a 6-fold reduction in operative blood loss.
    • The method proved simple and effective in minimizing bleeding during T.U.R.
    • No adverse events associated with the cooled irrigant were reported.

    Conclusions:

    • Hypothermic irrigation is a highly effective and simple strategy to reduce blood loss during T.U.R.
    • This technique offers a practical, low-cost adjunct for improving surgical safety in urology.
    • Further studies could explore broader applications of hypothermic irrigation in other surgical fields.
