Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the cause of haematuria for patients that had previously undergone a TURP. One hundred patients were identified in a walk-in haematuria clinic as having been treated by TURP and were prospectively investigated for the cause of bleeding. Prostate regrowth was the diagnosis in 63% of cases. A diagnosis of malignancy was made for 23.5% of these patients. We have confirmed the hypothesis that for patients who present with haematuria after a TURP, the prostate is the usual source of bleeding.Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases (2001) 4, 178-179.
