AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates factors contributing to bladder neck contracture (BNC) following transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with a sample size of 1,017 patients.
- Higher rates of BNC were found after TURP compared to open surgeries, with factors like smaller prostate size, longer surgery duration, increased resection power, and prostatitis being linked to its occurrence.
- The research emphasizes the importance of patient selection and surgical techniques in reducing the incidence of BNC.
Article Abstract
Objective: To analyse different factors related to the occurrence of bladder neck contracture (BNC) and to find possible ways of reducing this complication.
Methods: All putative factors and the numbers of BNC cases were studied with statistical analyses in 1,017 cases that had undergone transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
Results: The morbidity of BNC after TURP was significantly higher than that of open operations. Small size of the prostate, longer time of operation, higher power in resection and prostatitis were factors of BNC.
Conclusion: Properties of the prostate and electrical current injuries of resection are the primary factors of BNC. The selection of patients and techniques of TURP are most important in decreasing the morbidity of BNC.
