Comparison of Outcome of Transurethral Resection of Prostate Between Patients With Preoperative Low or Normal and High Voiding Pressure

Objective: T0 compare the outcome of Transurethral Resecton of Prostate between Patients with Preoperative Low or Normal and High Voiding Pressure. Methods: This hospital based prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Urology of Dhaka Medical college Hospital from July 2008 to June 2010 on male patients aging >59 years having Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) attending to urology OPD& IPD were evaluated by history, physical examination including DRE and necessary investigations like USG of KUB and prostate with MCC & PVR, Q max, IPSS score to identify the potential candidates for TURP. Potential participants were counseled for urodynamic study. Who fulfilled the selection criteria included in this study in outpatient basis or admitted in the urology ward and numbered chronologically and performed urodynamic study and then patients underwent TURP, after 12 weeks of completion of TURP again a follow-up urodynamic study performed in all patients to compare the outcome between two groups. Sample size was 65, high pressure voiding group were 36 in number and Normal or low pressure voiding group were 29 in number. Data were collected on variables of interest using a structural data collection format. Data were processed and analyzed using SPSS (Statistical package for social science) software program. The test of significant employed to analyze the data was descriptive statistics and Student’s t-test, Paired and unpaired t- test, Fisher exact test. Probability value (P value < 0.05) was considered significant. Results: In this study the age ranges were 59 and 88 years and mean age was 70.7 ± 6.7 years. the maximum urinary flow rate, residual urine volume and maximum intravesical pressure 3 months after transurethral prostatic resection were significantly better in patients with high detrusor pressure compared to those with normal/low normal/low detrusor pressure (15.9±0.7 vs. 21.3±2.2ml/sec, p<0.001, 18.1±11.8 vs. 2.9±0.7 ml, p<0.001 and 48.3±6.2 vs. 71.9±15.2 cmH2O, p<0.001 respectively).The maximum urinary flow rate ( Q max ), residual urine volume, maximum intravesical pressure and detrusor pressure at peak urinary flow rate and also IPSS score were significantly improved 3 months after operation in both groups, more improvement was observed in preoperative high voiding pressure group. Post-voiding residual urine is a clear indication of poor outcome, and also the maximum urinary flow rate, maximum intravesical pressure and detrusor pressure at peak urinary flow rate all factors may precipitate decompensation of bladder and in low voiding pressure group decompensation of bladder occurs more than the high voiding pressure group as the preoperative and postoperative residual urine develops more in low voiding pressure group. Conclusion: The high voiding pressures (detrusor pressure) may influence in good postoperative outcome and helps in resolution of a significant outflow obstruction, there are good urodynamic reasons for avoiding unwanted TURP rather it could be justified by using urodynamic study which may predict outcome of TURP. So, we may assess properly the patient for prostatectomy by urodynamic study. As if we do this type of evaluation before TURP it may reduce the unwanted operation.

The Impact

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

Maximum Urinary Flow

Because various criteria are used to define metabolic syndrome (MetS), this study examines the most relevant definition for patients with benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). Most studies regarding the link between MetS and BPE/lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) have used the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria for diagnosis, while a few have used criteria from the International Diabetes Federation and/or American Heart Association. Patients with LUTS due to BPE are classified as having MetS or not by the aforementioned three definitions. Prostate volume, International Prostate Symptom Score, storage and voiding subscores, maximum urinary flow rate, and the postvoid urine of patients with and without MetS were compared separately in the three different groups. Surgical and medical treatment prevalence was also compared between three groups. No matter which definition was used, the International Prostate Symptom Score, the storage and voiding symptom scores, prostate volume, prostate-specific antigen, and postvoid urine were significantly higher in the patients with MetS. The maximum urinary flow rate was similar between patients with and without MetS, according to all three different definitions. There was no significant difference in the aforementioned parameter between patients with MetS diagnosed with the three different definitions. Irrespective of which definition was used, the surgical treatment rate was not significantly different in patients diagnosed with than without MetS, or between the patients with MetS diagnosed with the three different definitions. The authors suggest that it does not matter which of the aforementioned three definitions is used during the evaluation of MetS in men with BPE/LUTS.

Detrusor Contractility

Objective: To evaluate the association of detrusor muscular activity with outcome of TURP in patients with severity of bladder outflow obstruction. Methods: This is a hospital based cross sectional study conducted in the Department of Urology of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka.Elderly male patients having lower urinary tract symptoms (IPSS=20-35) with no retention (non-catheterized patient), who attended in Dhaka Medical College Hospital, were included in the study. A total of 73 patients meeting the enrollment criteria were included in the study. They were evaluated by history, physical examination including DRE and necessary investigations to identify the potential candidates for TURP. Then the potential participants were counseled for Urodynamic study. All patients underwent TURP by expert surgeon. Three months after TURP, repeat Urodynamic study was done and the results were compared to see the outcome. Afterward the data were plotted for the clarification of detrusor contractility at three levels: normal detrusor contractility (voiding pressure 40-60cm of water), detrusor over activity (voiding pressure >60cm of water) and detrusor under activity (voiding pressure <40 cm of water). According to the provisional ICS nomogram for the analysis of voiding, patients were divided into three classes. In BOO Index(PdetQmax-2Qmax),obstructed(BOOI > 40); equivocal(BOOI=20-40);Unobstructed(BOOId” 20) are taken into consideration. The test statistic used to analyze the data was descriptive statistics and ANOVA test. The level of significance was set at 0.05 and P<O.05 was considered significant. Results: Out of 73 patients 8 didn’t attend follow up session and hence excluded keeping 65 for final analysis. The mean age was 66.3 ± 9.7 years (50- 87 years) .Detrusor over activity was present in 13(20%), normal detrusor contractility was observed in 46(70.8%) and weak contractility in 6(9.2%). Peak urinary flow rate was almost similar among patients of different groups. However, voided volume and residual volume were lowest in overactive group and highest in underactive group, while normal group was in between two (p = 0.007 and p = 0.046 respectively). Maximum urinary flow rate and voided urine between patients of moderate and severe bladder outlet obstruction were almost comparable (p =0.120 and p = 0.270 respectively). However, residual urine volume was much higher in the patients of moderate BOO than that in severe BOO (p = 0.001).The patients of OAB experienced a significant improvement in percentage of reduction of residual urine volume compared to normal and underactive bladder (p = 0.002), However, there were no significant difference among the patients with overactive, normal and underactive bladder with respect to peak urinary flow rate and voided urine volume (p = 0.499 and p = 0.847 respectively). Conclusion: TURP is an effective surgical procedure for treatment of BPH, especially for patients with severe degree of BOO with normal or overactive detrusor contraction.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the outcome of buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty of unilateral and circumferential urethral mobilization for the management of bulbar urethral stricture. Methods: Seventy patients having bulbar urethral strictures admitted in the Department of Urology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka between January 2010 to December 2011. Patients were divided into two groups. Group-I, underwent unilateral urethral mobilization, and Group-II, underwent circumferential urethral mobilization for buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty. All patients were followed up at least six months. The statistics used to analyze the data were descriptive statistics, and p value <0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Mean±SD of age in Group-II and Group-I were 41.1±9.2 and 37.4±8.2 years respectively. All the baseline findings were identically distributed between the groups. Comparison of outcome at month 3 showed that peak urinary flow rate increased from their baseline figures, but the increase was significantly more in the unilateral group than that in the circumferential group (21.2±1.2 vs. 18.9±2.0 Qmax, p =< 0.001). After 6 months, evaluation showed that the peak urinary flow rate significantly higher in Group-I, than that in Group-II, (24.2±2.9 vs. 21.9 ± 3.3, p < 0.001). The voided urine volume was also significantly higher in Group-I, than that in Group-II (330.8±50.1 vs. 294.5±46.1 ml, p = 0.004). Consequently, PVR was lower in the former group than that in the latter group (11.6±3.3 vs. 14.1±2.9 ml, p = 0.002). Complications in unilateral urethral mobilization had a significantly lower (20%) than that of circumferential urethral mobilization(45.71%) (p=0.024). Conclusion: Buccal mucosa grafting is a versatile and effective treatment for the anterior urethral stricture, and the outcome is excellent following unilateral urethral mobilization in experienced hands.

Background: In modern urology, successful male urethral reconstruction poses a continuing challenge.Methods: It was a quasi-experimental study conducted in the department of urology, Dhaka medical college hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh between January 2010 to December 2011. 35 patients having bulbar urethral strictures admitted in the department were study participants. All the participants underwent unilateral urethral mobilization, for buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty and followed up at least six months. RGU and MCU was done when peak flow was <15 ml /sec in uroflowmetry. Urethroscopy was done at 3rd and 6th month. The statistics used to analyze the data were descriptive statistics, and the tests done were student’s t-test, chi-square test, ANOVA, and Fisher exact test.Results: The length of strictures was observed ≤3 cm among 31% (n=11) and >3 cm among 69% (n=24) patients. As the immediate postoperative outcome among the participants, we found the mean peak urinary flow rate (Qmax), 15.3±1.2 and voided urine volume (ml), 328.8±50. Finally, as the postoperative outcome after 6 months among the participants, we found the mean peak urinary flow rate (Qmax), 24.2±2.9; voided urine volume (ml), 330.8±50.1 and PVR (ml), 11.6±3.3. In this study, some potential complications were bleeding and wound infection which were found among 11.43% and 17.14% patients respectively. Conclusions: Considering the satisfactory outcomes and lower complications unilateral urethral mobilization procedure can be considered as an effective treatment method for the management of bulbar urethral stricture.
