The effect of aspirin withdrawal time on the recovery of patient underwent transurethral resection of prostate

Abstract

Objective To summarize the effects of aspirin withdrawal time on the recovery of patient underwent transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). Methods The clinical data of BPH patients underwent TURP in our department between 2010 and 2015 were reviewed. According to the patients whether taken Asprin and the Asprin withdrawal time, these patients were divided into three groups: group 1, stop Asprin during perioperative period for 7 days; group 2, stop Asprin during perioperative period more than 7 days; control group, not taken Asprin. The volume of prostate, operating time, intraoperative bleeding amount, the length of hospital stay, the length of hospital stay after operation, the case of blood transfusion, hemoglobin decline in the first day after operation, the weight of resected prostate, the time of bladder irrigation and catheter removed after surgery, and the complication of cardio-cerebral vascular in perioperative period were compared. Results There were no significant differences in operation time, intraoperative bleeding amount, hemoglobin decline, the time of bladder irrigation, the time of catheter removed, and the length of hospital stay between the three groups (P>0.05). No severe cardio-cerebral vascular events occurred in all patients during the perioperative period. Conclusion Stop taking Asprin before TURP operation for 7 days is effective to reduce the bleeding and cardio-cerebral vascular complications.
