<p class="EnglishAbstract">Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases affecting the elderly, and Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is a gold standard surgical procedure in BPH patients. Although the TURP rate is high, the publication of TURP profile data in Indonesia is still limited. This study aimed at determining the characteristics of BPH patients who underwent TURP at Saiful Anwar General Hospital. This study is a descriptive study by collecting data of 162 BPH patients who underwent TURP from January 2015 to August 2017. TURP is primarily performed in patients aged 61-70 years (39.5%). Recurrent urinary retention was the most common indication for the procedure (54.9%) followed by bladder stone (21%), pharmacological therapy failure (10.5%), inguinal hernia (8%), severe Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) (3.7%), and renal insufficiency (1.9%). As many as 58% of patients who underwent TURP had a prostate volume higher than 50 ml. Urinary retention is the most common complaint among BPH patients who underwent TURP, and recurrent urinary retention is the most common TURP indicator. </p>

Background: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) after Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) occur in one-third of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) patients, may be caused by persistent prostatic inflammation and fibrosis. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the role of inflammation and fibrosis in pathological mechanism of LUTS among patients with BPH who underwent TURP by assessing their PSA, TNF-α, and TGF-β level. Design, Setting, and Participant: Data in this study were analyzed with the 2-way hypothesis. The study used odds ratio to define the risk factors of LUTS after TURP. The samples of the study are BPH patients after TURP aged 50-80 years old. Interventions: No intervention(s). Outcome Measurements and Statistical Analysis: The data analyzed using SPSS version 21.0 for Windows. Results and Limitations: There were 34 cases of LUTS and 42 controls without LUTS. We found that there were an increased levels of TNF-α (> 46.95 pg/ml) (OR 55.6, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 11.1-278.4, p=0.00) and TGF-β (> 207.63 pg/ml) (OR 16.7, 95%CI 5.3-52.8, p=0.00). The result of multiple linear logistic regression analysis obtained equation Y= 0.033 x TNF-α + 0.031 x TGF-β. Population Attributable Risk (PAR) % TNF-α is 60%, PAR % TGF-β is 53%. Conclusion: Combination of elevated levels of TNF-α (>46.95 pg/ml) and TGF-β (>207.63) in prostate tissue is the risk factors for the occurrence of LUTS after TURP. Patient Summary: In this study, we enrolled 76 patients who were diagnosed with BPH and urinary retention. After TURP, there were 34 cases of LUTS and 42 controls without LUTS. We found that the levels of TNF-α and TGF-β between cases and controls were significantly different. We conclude that the combination of elevated levels of TNF-α and TGF-β in prostate tissue is the risk factors for the occurrence of LUTS after TURP.

Introduction: Benign prostate hyperplasia, pathophysiology contributes to bladder outlet obstruction due to functional obstruction caused by gland size enlargement resulting in the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Objectives: To determine the correlation of the prostate volume with surgical outcomes and postoperative LUTS in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Patients and Methods: Patients with BPH who were refractory for medical treatment enrolled in the study. Patients divided into three groups with attention to their prostate volume conducted by transabdominal ultrasonography. To evaluate patients’ LUTS, the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaire was filled for all patients preoperatively and during the first and third months follow up sessions. Results: In the current study, mean age of the patients was 66.92 ± 1.08 years. Of 111 patients, eight patients (7.2%) had prostate volume less than 30 cc, 59 patients (53.2%) had prostate volume between 30-60 cc, and 44 patients (39.6%) had prostate volume more than 60 cc. During first month postoperative, mean decrease in IPSS scores in patients with prostate volume less than 30 cc, prostate volume between 30–60 cc and prostate volume more than 30 cc were 27.72 ± 3.53, 27.32 ± 3.37 and 27.45 ± 2.87, respectively. The ANOVA test showed no significant difference between the groups (P= 0.93). Mean decrease in IPSS score during third month postoperative, had no significant difference between the three groups, too (P=0.71). Symptoms alleviation observed in 94.6% and 95.5% of the patients, during first and third months follow-up, respectively. Conclusion: There was no correlation between the IPSS scores decrease and patients’ symptoms recovery and preoperative prostate volume in patients with BPH who underwent TRUP.
