[Systematic approach in performing isolated and simultaneous operations in elderly patients with prostate adenoma].

AIM: To develop a scientifically based system for treating elderly patient with prostate adenoma (AP), aimed at reducing the incidence and severity of complications and mortality after isolated and simultaneous operations.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

Between 1995 and 2015, 1170 elderly and older patients with prostate adenoma (PA) underwent isolated adenomectomy (AE) or transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or simultaneous operations (SO). Simultaneous interventions were performed in 335 (28.6%) patients.

RESULTS

Immediate treatment results were significantly better in patients who underwent isolated TURP or TURP as a part of SO than that of those who had isolated AE or AE as a part of SO. SO was not associated with greater incidence of local or general postoperative complications and mortality compared with isolated AE or TURP.

CONCLUSION

Continuous advancements in diagnostic and treatment methods contributed to a significant reduction in the incidence of postoperative complications and deaths in geriatric patients with PA. The study findings confirm the superiority of TURP over AE, as previously reported by other authors.
