2. INTRODUCTION
⢠Transurethral resection of the
prostate (TURP) is a commonly
performed surgical treatment for
benign prostatic hyperplasia
⢠TURP surgically treat moderate- to-
severe LUTS in men with prostate
size of 30-80 mL
3. INDICATION
Strong Indications for Surgery
⢠Recurrent urinary retention
⢠Acute urinary retention
⢠Recurrent haematuria refractory to medical treatment with 5-alpha reductase
inhibitors
⢠Bladder stones
⢠Renal insufficiency.
4. INDICATION
Relative Indications
⢠Morphological changes in bladder or upper urinary tract secondary to bladder outlet
obstruction
⢠Constant and increasing postvoid residue (PVR) greater than 100 ml
⢠Recurrent urinary infection secondary to bladder outlet obstruction
⢠The final decision also depends on the patientâs willingness for surgery
5. Contraindications
Absolute :
- Active urinary tract infection
- Uncorrected coagulopathy
Relative :
- Large bladder stone (two-stage procedure, cystolitholapaxy and TURP)
- Anaesthetic contraindications
- Acute renal insufficiency secondary to bladder outlet obstruction
6. Pre-operative
⢠Stop any âbleeders drugsâ
⢠Informed consent
⢠No shaving necessary
⢠Antibiotics
10. The Sets
⢠Resectoscope 24-Fr single-flow or 27-Fr/24- Fr
continuous-flow rotatable resectoscope with 12° or 0°
optics.
⢠Video camera with rotatable camera head
⢠HF resection electrodes: band electrode (preferred)
⢠Thin loop (optional for precision cuts) and roller
electrode (coagulation)
⢠100-ml bladder syringe
⢠20-Fr irrigation catheter
⢠Optional suprapubic catheter (12-Fr) for continuous
irrigation during resection
⢠Lubricant
⢠Electrolyte-free and sterile irrigation fluid, positioned at a
height of 50â60 cm above the pubic symphysis
12. TURP Technique Principle
Do safety and efficiently
Work in low pressure
Achieve good hemostasis
Systematic approach of TURP
13. Main Steps of TURP
1. Identification of landmarks
2. Removal of most of adenoma
3. Bleeding control
4. Tidying up & removal of apical tissue
5. Catheter application
24. ⢠Smaller vessel may be
controlled by coagulating its
mouth
⢠Larger vessel is controlled by
applying the loop just to one
side of wall to seal the walls
together
⢠Perform hemostatic
procedure particularly in 2,
10, 5 and 10 oâclock
HEMOSTATIC
TECHNIQUE
28. Nesbitâs Method
⢠Start from 12 oâclock
⢠Lateral lobe will be resected from the top to the bottom
⢠Median lobe will be the last to resect
31. Alcock and Flocksâ Method
⢠Start from 9 and 3 oâclock
⢠Then, it depends on the situation
32. Mauermayerâs Method
⢠Alcock & Flocksâ modification
⢠Start from median lobe
⢠Then, resect 9 and 3 oâclock
⢠This method is recommended for
beginners and could be used for
large/small adenoma
41. Post operative
⢠POD 0:
⢠Irrigation is running freely, is no darker than vin rose, and fully conscious
ď send to wards
⢠POD 1 â 2: Early mobilization
⢠When the effluent is clear, little brownish blood ď discontinue irrigation
⢠POD 3: Remove the catheter
Failure to void after removing the catheter:
⢠Uncomfortable
⢠Detrusor failure
⢠Insufficient tissue resection
42. Postoperative Care
⢠When the irrigation fluid becomes clear ď catheter traction can be
released up to 4 h
⢠Continue irrigation of the bladder overnight
⢠If there is no complication ď catheter can be removed 2 days POD
⢠Common complications: bleeding (macroscopic haematuria),
undermining the bladder neck, inadvertent peritoneal puncture,
capsular perforation
⢠Going Home POD 3
43. Complications
