[Transurethral resection in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia complicated by chronic calculous prostatitis]

Combination of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with chronic calculous prostatitis aggravates clinical symptoms of BPH and complicated its treatment. Pronounced dysuria, persistent pain are highly resistant to conventional chemotherapy. Prostatic stones promoted emergence of sclerotic and purulent complications impeding surgical treatment of BPH. Unsatisfactory results of transurethral resection (TUR) in BPH with chronic calculous prostatitis are attributed to impossibility to remove all the concrements. Visual control in TUR cannot localize the stones. Deep resection of the prostate at the site of expected stone location elevates the risk of enuresis and impairment of prostatic capsule. Surgical treatment of 16 patients has demonstrated that removal of all the concrements and prevention of the complications are possible under transrectal ultrasound control.
