A comparative study of Kystosol and glycine as irrigating solutions during transurethral prostatic resection.
The author has compared Kystosol and glycine as irrigating solutions during transurethral prostatic resection. Astrum analyses during the operations revealed the development of acidosis in half of the patients in the Kystosol group, whereas in the glycine group, only 4 out of 27 developed a slight decline of base excess. Development of acidosis was directly proportional to the volume of irrigation fluid used and the duration of the operation.
