However, there are no studies that have evaluated the relationship between preoperative urethral dilation and the incidence of post-TURP urethral stricture. Thus, we retrospectively investigated the effect of routinely urethral dilation just before surgery on preventing urethral stricture after TURP. METHODS: From January 2010 to December 2018, a total of 651 patients who underwent TURP for BPH was included in this study. We divided into two groups: Group A (295 patients, routinely urethral dilation before TURP) and B (356 patients, control group). We used a 26Fr resectoscope sheath, 30-degree telescope, and bipolar resectoscope. Urethral dilation was performed immediately before insertion of resectoscope sheath and 28Fr dilator was used. Urethral stricture after TURP was assessed by cystoscopy. Each patient was evaluated at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after TURP. The effect of urethral dilation was assessed based on International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), peak urine flow rate, voiding volume, and post-void residual urine. RESULTS: There were no significant differences of clinical variables, such as prostate volume, serum prostate specific antigen (PSA), age, operation time, and duration of catheterization between two groups (p >0.05). However, peak urine flow rate was significantly different between group A and B (19.87±9.12 vs 16.18±9.79, p=0.047). The incidence of urethral stricture after TURP was 4.06% (12/295) and 8.71% (31/356) in group A and B, respectively (p=0.032). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that the preoperative urethral dilation decreased the incidence of urethral stricture after TURP. We suggested that the routinely preoperative urethral dilation is simple and effective way to prevent urethral stricture after TURP for BPH.
