A comparative study of early post- operative morbidity in transurethral prostatectomy(TURP) versus retropubic prostatectomy (RPP)in Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).

| Summary: | ABSTRACT: Benign Prostatic hyperplesia ((BPH) is a common disease in aging male. BPH occurs due to decrease serum testerone level in old age and estrogenic steroid are not decreased equally with advancing age. Symptoms of prostatism and urodynamic evidence of bladder outflow obstruction (BOO) are the common presentation in BPH. Total 50 symptomatic BPH patients were included in this study. They were kept in Transuretheral Postatectomy (TURP) and Retropubic Prostectomy (RPP)on the random basis. The aim of this study was to observe the early postoperative morbidity in TURP and RPP groups. In RPP group there was significantly more requirement of analgesia. It may be due to the open procedure and extensive tissue damage in comparison with TURP group. The infection rate are significantly higher in RPP group. Because of high morbidity in RPP group, the period of hospital stay was also significantly higher than TURP group. There was no TURP syndrome and mortality in our study group patients. The result of the study shows TURP is better than RPP in the surgical management of symptomatic BPH. |
