A rare case of a necrotized urethral prolapse in a postmenopausal woman with acute urinary retention.

Case: Urethral prolapse (UP) is a rare condition with unknown etiology. We reported on an 86-year-old woman with a normal BMI and cystocele, presented with acute urinary retention and perineal pain. A residual urine of 950 mL was measured and released by an indwelling catheter.

Patient related factors affecting in-hospital costs of a TURP procedure.

Treatment costs of lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) are a substantial economic burden that will continue to increase in the future as a result of the ageing male population and increasing health awareness. The true costs for surgical interventions against BPE have been difficult to quantify as treatment costs strongly depend on the performance setting and may also vary among different healthcare systems, regions and institutions. The purpose of this study was to disclose the in-hospital costs and main expense items associated with a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).

Transurethral resection of the prostate: fate of the non-responders.

Background: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has been the standard method of surgical management of benign prostatic enlargement for decades. Some patients experience significant voiding dysfunction and discomfort postoperatively, without any apparent clinical complications from the procedure. Furthermore, a significant proportion of men still require postoperative catheterisation.

The morbidity associated with a TURP procedure in routine clinical practice, as graded by the modified Clavien-Dindo system.

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is considered the reference surgical method of treating benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) causing obstruction. The procedure still carries a significant risk of perioperative morbidity according to previous reports. The aim of the present study was to disclose complications after TURP undertaken in routine clinical practice at a non-academic center.

Defining and discriminating responders from non-responders following transurethral resection of the prostate.

Background: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the reference standard surgical treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) related to benign prostatic enlargement. The aim of this study was to investigate the response rate following TURP in two distinctly different patient categories; men with bothersome LUTS and men in urinary retention (UR) requiring catheterisation.

Methods: In total, 355 men underwent TURP due to LUTS or UR.
