Introduction:
Prostate TUR is the most common approach used in the surgical management of BPH. The highest expenditure portion of this treatment occurs during the post-operative.
Patients And Method:
42 cases of prostate TUR were analyzed by GRD type, prostate weight, hospital stay and complications in the peri- and post-operative periods. Both the approach used and the degree of patient's satisfaction are analyzed.
Results:
Mean prostate weight is 46 g (range 23-69). 45% cases involve GRD 336 and 55% GRD 337. Mean hospital stay for the procedure was 2.5 days. 2.3% of the series developed long-lasting temperature, 2.3% required transfusion and 2.3% a second intervention. Around 81% patients are satisfied with the results.
Conclusions:
It is possible to reduce costs by reducing hospital stay without impairing care quality and patient satisfaction.
