Background: Transurethral resection of prostate syndrome (TURP) syndrome is an iatrogenic complication caused by absorption of the irrigating fluid which is used to distend the bladder during surgery.Methods: A total of 100 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were taken for study. Study was done in tertiary care centre in Gujarat from January 2016 to December 2017. They were evaluated pre-operative and post-operative for sodium concentration.Results: In this study most of the patients i.e. 32 were seen in age group 61- 65 years.31% cases have developed hyponatremia out of 6% were having serum sodium level <125 mEq/l. 56% of cases were having prostate gland <40 cc. In 70% cases, TURP was completed within 60 minutes, while 30% cases required more than 60 minutes time. 13 were seen in age group 51 to 60 years, means 40.62% patients of this age group (13/32) and 12 patients were seen in age group 71-80 years, means 52.17% patients of this age group (12/23) were having post-operative hyponatremia. Out of 31 patients, 20 patients (64.52%) were having prostate size more than 60 cc and 11 patients (35.48%) were having prostate size between 46 to 60 cc.Conclusions: From present study, it is concluded that electrolyte derangement occurs in older patients, with larger amount of tissue and longer time of resection and higher volume of irrigation fluid. It was also noticed that chances of electrolyte derangement are higher in patients with co-morbid conditions.

Background: ‘TUR syndrome’ is clinically detectable in 2% of patients undergoing an otherwise safe operation. Currently, spinal anaesthesia is the most widely anaesthetic technique for TURP as it is easier to detect signs of TUR syndrome in an awake patient. This study aimed at looking at the clinical spectrum and outcomes of TUR syndrome in patients undergoing TURP under spinal anaesthesia.Methods: This clinical study was conducted over a period of 6 months in the departments of anesthesiology and urology at the Christian medical college and hospital Ludhiana in a cohort of 50 male patients electively admitted for TURP under spinal block belonging to ASA I or II groups. Patients received intermittent irrigation with 1.5% glycine, and monitored for TUR symptoms and electrolyte estimations perioperatively.Results: In our study the incidence of TURP syndrome was 10 %. Under spinal block clinical manifestations along with serum sodium values monitored perioperatively helped diagnose and manage the patients. All patients successfully completed resection, with no mortality related to TURP syndrome.Conclusions: In patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate under spinal anaesthesia, monitoring clinical symptoms for the rare TURP syndrome and additional serum sodium levels act as an adjunct in diagnosis. In both situations diagnosis and early intervention prevents extreme neurological symptoms and reduces mortality.

Objectives: To evaluate urinary symptoms and quality of life in patient with BPH before and after TURP. To determine the impact of TURP on the urinary symptoms (IPSS) and peak urinary flow rate. Methods: This study is prospective study carried out between 2010 and 2011 in the department of Urology, National Institute of Kidney Diseases & Urology. Total 102 cases were selected purposively according to selection criteria. Each patient was observed and followed up at 8 weeks (1st visit), 16 weeks (2nd visit) 24 weeks (3rd visit) after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). IPSS score, QOL score also recorded and uroflowmetry was done to see the peak urinary flow rate (Qmax) of urine and voiding time. USG was done to see post voidal residual urine volume and DRE also done in selected cases. Data was complied and statistical analysis were done using computer based software, Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), using paired ‘t’ test. A P value <0.05 was taken as significance. Results: Before TURP, IPSS range 17-25 and mean 21.61+2.43, after TURP, range 0-7 and mean 4.27+1.71). Hence a significant improvement of IPSS was found from 2 months to 6 months follow up after TURP. The change was tested using “paired student ‘t’ test”. Before TURP Qmax range 7-12.2 and mean was 9.96+1.69, which became range 18-25 and mean was 22.61+2.28 after TURP and therefore change of mean Qmax was 12.64+2.69. The change was tested using “paired student ‘t’ test”. The change was found significant (P<0.001). Conclusion: Transurethral resection of prostate resolves obstructive symptoms, rapid improvement of urinary flow rate Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 16, No. 1, Jan 2013 p.11-15

BACKGROUND: Urologic guidelines recommend perioperative instillation of chemotherapy after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) to decrease tumor recurrence, yet implementation of this recommendation is partial due to associated morbidity. Hypertonic saline destroys cells by osmotic dehydration and might present a safer alternative. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety of 3% hypertonic saline (Hypersal) intravesical instillation following TURBT in rats and in humans. METHODS: In 8 rats whose bladders were electrically injured, intravesical blue-dyed Hypersal was administered. We measured serum sodium levels before and after instillation and pathologically evaluated their pelvic cavity for signs of inflammation or blue discoloration. Twenty-four patients were recruited to the human trial (NIH-NCT04147182), 15 comprised the interventional and 10 the control group (one patient crossed over). Hypersal was given postoperatively. Serum sodium was measured before, 1 hour and 12–24 hours after instillation. Adverse effects were documented and compared between the groups. RESULTS: In rats, average sodium levels were 140.0 mEq/L and 140.3 mEq/L before and following instillation, respectively. Necropsy revealed no signs of inflammation or blue discoloration. In humans the average plasma sodium levels were 138.6 mEq∖L, 138.8 mEq∖L and 137.7 mEq∖L before, 1 hour and 12–24 hours after instillation, respectively. During the postoperative follow-up there was one case of fever. A month after the surgery, dysuria was reported by 5 patients while urgency and hematuria were reported by one patient each. The most severe adverse events were grade 2 on the Clavien-Dindo scale. Adverse events were similar in the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Hypersal instillation is safe and tolerable immediately after TURBT.

Abstract Background Perioperative bleeding is the most common complication related to transurethral resection of prostate; the aim of the study was to compare the effect of pre-operative use of finasteride versus cyproterone acetate (CPA) on blood loss with monopolar TURP. Methods This prospective randomized controlled study was conducted on (60) patients with BPH underwent monopolar TURP between July 2019 and July 2020. Patients were distributed into three equal groups; CPA group: 20 patients received cyproterone acetate 50 mg tab BID for two weeks before TURP, finasteride group: 20 patients received single daily dose of finasteride 5 mg for two weeks before TURP, control group: 20 patients received no treatment before TURP, all patients underwent monopolar TURP, and then histopathological examination of the resected tissues was done with assessment of the microvascular density of the prostate. Results Our study showed that there was significant decrease in intraoperative blood loss and operative time in CPA and finasteride groups in comparison with control group (p = 0.0012) (p < 0.0001), respectively, significant decrease in post-operative Hb and HCT value in finasteride and control groups in comparison with CPA group (p < 0.01), significant increase in specimen weight in CPA group compared to other groups (p < 0.01), and there was also significant decrease in microvascular density in CPA group in comparison with other groups (p < 0.01). Conclusion Cyproterone acetate is more effective than finasteride in decreasing perioperative bleeding with TURP by decreasing microvascular density of the prostate.

Globally, surgical site infections are one of the common infections which lead to a large amount of mortality and morbidity in postsurgical care. The risk for surgical site infection is multidimensional which includes mainly; patient, surgery, and hospital-related factors. This study is aimed to determine the burden of SSIs along with contributed risk factors. A prospective observational cross-sectional study was conducted in one of the largest public-sector hospitals in Pakistan. A total of 412 patients were recruited in the study with full consent and monitored for 30 days after surgery with direct and indirect surveillance. Overall, in seven different surgical procedures the incidence (29.8%) rate of SSI was observed; in appendectomy ( n = 17, 4.1%), exploratory laparotomy ( n = 51, 12.6%), laparoscopic cholecystectomy ( n = 12, 2.90%), mesh repair ( n = 17, 4.01%), thyroidectomy (5, 1.2%), transurethral resection of the prostate ( n = 11, 2.6%), and transurethral resection of the bladder (10, 2.4%). The average SSI rate in every single procedure was about 18 (4.27%) per surgical procedure out of 123 (29.85%) SSI cases. Types of SSI identified were superficial, deep incisional and organ/space ( n = 76, 18.4%, n = 23, 5.5%, and n = 24, 5.7%). Incidence of SSIs during admission, at readmission, and post-surveillance cases were ( n = 50, 12.1%, n = 25, 6.0% and n = 48, 11.6%). Associated risk factors found contributed to the incidence of SSI ( p < 0.05). Pre-operative ( n = 348, 84.5%) and 6 (1.5%) surgical patients did not received the post-operative antibiotics. The P. aeruginosa ( n = 15, 12.1%) and S. aureus (13, 10.5%). Cefoperazone and sulbactam were the most prescribed antibiotics. Associated risk factors and treatment outcomes of surgical patients have a direct association with the incidence of SSI. Hospital-based antimicrobial stewardship, implementation of surgical guidelines, patient care, and education are needed to develop at wards level in hospitals.
