[Some aspects of transurethral resection of large benign prostatic hyperplasia].
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a progressive disease that affects the quality rather than the quantity of life of men. There are two methods of surgical treatment of BPH: transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and open prostatectomy. In this study we investigated the safety and efficacy of TURP for large prostate glands. To analyze our clinical data we can conclude introduction of technological innovations, especially of "low pressure" TURP, have made it possible to perform TURP for large prostates so safely as for recommended volumes. Also our trial has demonstrated that complications after TURP were within admissible limits of standard TURP. Therefore, TURP can be considered as an effective and safe procedure for patients with large prostate glands.
