Abstract
Benign prostatic hypertrophy can be treated by several therapeutic options including medical and surgical techniques. Among the surgical options, transurethral resection has a crucial role. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains the standard surgical treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). This technique was the first minimally invasive procedure of the modern surgical practice remaining the most commonly procedure. During 2010-2015, 324 patients were enrolled in our study, recording all postoperative complications. Our paper emphasizes all the theoretical aspects of TURP’s complications comparing to our data.

Summary
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has a played a significant role in modern era of benign prostatic hypertrophy treatment. This minimally invasive procedure can reduce the complications comparing to open surgery, reduces hospital length and costs, and reducing complications can enhance the quality of life [1]. TURP is recently considered as a gold standard besides several other alternatives as YAG laser [2], ablation, and KTP-laser photoselective vaporization [3, 4]. Transurethral resection of prostate remains the standard technique of surgical management of BHP, of several surgical alternatives [5]. Our aim was to identify the complications after TURP in our series comparing with the other studies
