Objective:To explore the etiology and prevention of common post-prostatectomy complications

including hemorrhage

wound infection

bladder detrusor muscle instability

incontinence and bladder neck contractures.Methods:The advanced prostatectomy techniques were performed on 114 BPH patients

including the deep 8-shaped suture of prostatic vessels

packet-shaped suture and slinging of bladder neck

a deep and wide V-shaped piece of tissue resected from the heightened posterior part of the bladder neck to avoid tear of the external urethral sphincter during operation period.A#22F three-way Foley urethral catheter for drainage and traction.A multiple hole rubber drain catheter was placed in retropubis

and was implanted 0.125% bupicarine was transfused into epidural continuously by patient controled epidural analgesia (PCEA) post-operatively.Results:Complication rate of patients treated with the above method decreased obviously( P <0.05).Conclusion:These data suggest that post-operation complications of BPH patients may be prevented.
