[Clinical analysis and management of disappointing early urination after TURP].

OBJECTIVE

To explore the etiology and management of disappointing early urination in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) following transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).

METHODS

The clinical data and management of 58 cases of disappointing urination within 3 months after TURP were reviewed.

RESULTS

Of the total number of patients with disappointing early urination after TURP, 7 (12%) underwent a second operation, 6 (10%) received outpatient treatment, and the other 45 (78%) showed spontaneous improvement within 1 year with no further treatment.

CONCLUSION

The causes of disappointing early urination after TURP included bladder neck contracture, urethral stricture and urinary tract infection, which necessitate secondary treatment. And a greater proportion of the patients showed functional lability of the bladder detrusor muscle, which could be spontaneously improved within 1 year after TURP.
