Noninvasive transvesical pressure monitoring using controlled continuous flow resectoscope.
This is a review of 400 cases performed with a controlled continuous flow (CCF) resectoscope which incorporates the use of a noninvasive transvesical pressure monitor. Two series of 200 cases each are compared. The results indicate that the second group of cases performed more recently, had a lower incidence of CVP elevation and serum sodium change. An alteration in surgical technique using the CCF may be responsible for the improved outcome in the second set of cases.
