[Immediate and late complications of transurethral resection of prostate].
300 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia admitted in hospital between 1994 and 1998 were studied. The surgical procedure in 21 patients was TUIP (transurethral incision of prostate), in 18 patients was classic adenomectomy (open prostatectomy), in 58 patients classic TURP (transurethral resection of prostate) and in 203 patients TURP by low pressure (hypopressure). The immediate complications in those patients who underwent endoscopic procedures were bleeding in 18 patients, acute urinary infections in 20 patients, endotoxic shock in 5 patients, epididimytis in 9 patients, urine retention in 4 patients, obstruction of catheters in 10 patients, collection of washing liquid in perivesical space (Retzius) in 3 patients. The late complications were the following: bleeding--4 cases, imperative micturition--12 cases, vesicle neck sclerosis--3 cases, urethral orifice stenosis--16 cases, urethral stricture--3 cases, urinary retention--6 cases, abscess in perivesical space (Retzius)--1 case. After TURP in hypopressure, the complications were less frequent due to a better visualization a more rapid execution of the procedure.
