Treating experiences on transurethral vaporization prostatomy for 35 elderly patients with benign prostate hypertrophy

Abstract

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of transurethral vaporization resection of the prostate (TUVP) in treating elderly patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods Retrospective analysis was carried out to 35 elderly patients with BPH aged ≥ 90 years treated by TUVP in our hospital from January 2010 to December 2013.Surgery safety,postoperative safety,postoperative complications and postoperative complications were assessed.Results 35 patients were successfully implemented with TUVP,including 30 cases successfully discharged and urination,no significant complications following up for 3-6 months.2 cases with postoperative bleeding more:1 case given surgery to stop bleeding again; another was treated with filling catheter balloon to 60 ml,oppression prostate fossa hemostasis.1 case occurred left lower extremity deep vein thrombosis after the seventh days,discharged after thrombolytic therapy.One fever patient appeared after the third day,considered as double lung pneumonia,discharged after being given symptomatic treatment for 10 days.1 case occurred mild urinary incontinence after postoperative catheter removal,given biofeedback treatment,urinary incontinence basically recovered 2 months later.Conclusion TUVP is a safe and effective way to deal with the senior patients with BPH.
