Transurethral electrovaporization of prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia in senile and high risk patients
Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transurethral electrovaporization of the prostate(TUVP) in senile and high risk patients of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH). Methods The clinical data of 138 senile and high risk BPH patients treated by TUVP were analysed retrospectively. Results Mean weight of resected tissue was 76 (range 42-155) g and mean operation time was 42 (range 32-68) min. The blood loss during operation was 9-185 (average 38) ml. Postoperative mean maximal urinary flow rate was significantly increased
and the mean international prostatic symptom score (IPSS) was significantly decreased.The follow-up period was 3-72 months and all patients could pass urine smoothly.The preoperative concurrent diseases of heart
brain
liver and kidney etc. were not aggravated after TUVP operation. Conclusion TUVP can be applied to senile(≥80 years old) and high risk BPH patients with safety and satisfied efficacy.
