Background: BPH is one of the most common cause of LUTS which significantly impairs the quality of life. TURP is minimally invasive surgical procedure for Benign Prostatic hyperplasia which has impact on quality of life. Impact on quality of life can be measured by QoL score and effect of TURP can be evaluated. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) on Quality of Life (QoL) score. Methodology: This prospective study was carried out in the Department of Urology, Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College and Hospital, Dhaka, from July 2015 to June 2016. Total fifty patients between 50 to 72 years attending for the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) were included for the study according to inclusion & exclusion criteria. All of them were evaluated with baseline international prostate symptoms score (IPSS), QoL score, peak urinary flow rate (Qmax), voided volume, voiding time and PVR and were recorded in a predesigned data sheet. Selected patients underwent Transurethral Resection of Prostate. They were followed after 1 month and 3 months with same parameter and compared with the baseline values. Results: The baseline international prostate symptoms score (IPSS) in this study was 25.18±1.45. At one month and three months follow up visits after TURP, the IPSS was decreased to 15.0±1.07 and 8.14±0.76 respectively. There was significant improvement of peak urinary flow rate (Qmax) in the postoperative period, at the 1st follow up visit after one month of TURP (15.78±1.42, p<0.001) and at the 2nd follow visit after three months of TURP (18.78, p <0.001). The mean QoL score was 5.30±0.46 before TURP. After one month of TURP it was 3.20±0.45 and after 3 months of TURP it was 1.86±0.57. Conclusion: There is a significant improvement of quality of after TURP. Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, 2019;5(2): 143-147

Objective: To determine the improvement of the quality of life in patient of BPH after transurethral resection of prostate. Methods: A total of 102 of patients complaining lower urinary tract symtoms due to Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Each of the patient was followed up at 8 weeks (1st visit), 16 weeks (2nd visit) and 24 weeks (3rd visit) after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). Before TURP for base line study of each patient was evaluated by history, physical examination, digital rectal examination (DRE), International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS), Quality of Life Score (QOL), Urinalysis, volume of the prostate and post voidal residual urine (PVR) were determined by ultrasonogram. Improvement of lower urinary tract symptoms and quality of life was determined using IPSS. Improvement was based on the changes from base line in symptoms,urinary flow rate, amount of post voidal residual urine and quality of life.Urine flow rate was measured by uroflowmetry as peak urinary flow rate (Qmax), voiding time and voided volume and was considered valid only if the voided volume was >200 ml. Symptoms were assessed using IPSS & consisting of seven symptoms (frequency, nocturia, urge in continence, urgency, hesitancy, terminal dribbling and sense of incomplete evacuation) that were graded from 0-5. An overall symptoms score was calculated. Result: 102 cases were evaluated by history, physical examination, digital rectal examination (DRE), international prostate symptom scoring (IPSS), quality of life (QOL) scoring, uroflowmetry, post voided residual urine (PVR) and volume of prostate by USG and serum prostate specific antigen (PSA). Cases were selected between 60-75 years. In group-A, among 42 cases (41.2%) <65 years and group-B, 60 cases (58.80%) > 65 years. Age of the patients of each group was compared with IPSS, PVR, Qmax and QOL. Before TURP, IPSS range 17-25 and mean 21.61+2.43, after TURP, range 0-7 and mean 4.27+1.71). There was significant correlation between the IPSS obstructive scores and Qmax at base line (P=<0.001), while correlations at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd follow up significant. There was also a significant correlation between IPSS obstructive score and PVR, and quality of life. After TURP, the IPSS Score showed significant improvements in urinary symptoms with the IPSS showing more significant change for obstructive symptoms. 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”. Mean quality of life was 5.01+0.64 at base line, which became 0.60+0.91 at end point and therefore change of mean QOL was -4.41+0.93 ml. A significant improvement QOL after transurethral resection of the prostate. The change was test 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 and quality of life that is why it is considered as gold standard treatment for moderate to severe symptomatic BPH patients.

Background: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common pathological condition in man that causes Lower Urinary Tract Syndrome (LUTS). The most popular therapeutic modality for BPH is Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP). This study describes the TURP outcome in BPH patient with prostate size > 75 grams compared to < 75 grams in Karawang General Referral Hospital.Methods: We performed a retrospective review of clinical outcome from BPH patient with LUTS who underwent TURP procedure between January 2017 – April 2018. Data was taken through patient medical records and processed descriptively to describe complications, quality of life, and clinical laboratory data. Qualitative data compared with Chi-Square test.Results: During this study, we evaluated 40 patients, 20 patients with prostate size > 75 grams (group 1) and 20 patients with prostate size < 75 grams (group 2). Mean age in group 1 was 65.6 ± 9.9 years and in group 2 was 65.3 ± 10.2 years. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) after TURP between group 1 and group 2 showed a significant difference, while incomplete emptying was found mostly in group 2 (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in Quality of Life Score between group 1 and group 2 (p > 0.05). From laboratory results, we found a reduction of hemoglobin in both groups with p-value < 0.05 or no significant difference.Conclusions: Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) procedure for patient with prostate size > 75 grams is safe and effective with lower complications and there is no significant difference compared to patient with prostate size < 75 grams.

Objectives: The present study was carried out in the Department of Urology, Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital Dhaka between July 2009 to May 2010. To determine the frequency of prostate cancer in patients with BPH & PSA level d” 4 ngm/ml. Methods: A total of 198 subjects aged above 50 years with serum PSA level of not more than 4.0 ng per milliliter , no suspicious nodule on digital rectal examination , homogenous echogenicity of prostate on ultrasonographic findings, peak urinary flow rate (Qmax) < 10ml/sec in uroflowmetry and no clinically significant coexisting conditions were included in the study. All the patients presented with obstructive urinary symptoms attended at four tertiary hospitals in Dhaka city during the study period were evaluated with clinical history, physical examination and some investigations. All the patients were treated with transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). Chips were collected carefully and sent for histopathology. Results: The mean age was 65.1 ± 7.3 years. About 32% of patients had serum PSA level 2 ng/ml or less and 68.2% more than 2 ng/ml. The peak urinary flow rate was 7.2 ± 2.7 ml/sec. One hundred and ninety three (98%) patients were diagnosed as having benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) on histopathological examination and 5(2.5%) as having prostate carcinoma. Conclusion: Prostate cancer is not rare among men with PSA levels of 4.0 ng per milliliter or less Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 15, No. 2, July 2012 p.44-47

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
