Background: Although transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) using saline as irrigant solution (TURis) is reported to reduce intraoperative hyponatremia, careful management during operation is needed to avoid complications caused by possible massive absorption of irrigant solution.

Methods: To find out the detectors of fluid absorption during TURP using TURis system, intraoperative data of hemodynamics and serum electrolytes in 11 patients who had TURP using TURis system were retrospectively collected and statistically analyzed.

Results: During TURP using TURis system, serum chloride (s-Cl) significantly increased (before/60 min after beginning of operation: 99.4 +/- 2.8/104.2 +/- 5.1 mEq x l(-1), mean +/- SD). Intraoperative changes in s-Cl had strong correlations with changes in base excess, serum potassium, hematocrit and central venous pressure.

Conclusions: Our results suggested intravenous absorption of saline solution during operation. Serum chloride concentration can be a useful detector of irrigant solution absorption during TURP using TURis system.

Background: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) could incidentally cause hyponatremia, known as TUR syndrome due to intravascular absorption of non-electrolytic irrigation fluid. Recently, normal saline has been used as an irrigation fluid in a new system named TURis (TUR in saline) to prevent TUR syndrome. However, rapid massive absorption of normal saline can also cause other systemic adverse events.

Introduction: Bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (B-TURP) is a commonly performed procedure, although it has not yet surpassed the gold standard monopolar TURP. The incidence and contributing factors to the development of urethral stricture following B-TURP are still a matter of debate and were analyzed in the present study.

Methods: This prospective study evaluated patients who underwent B-TURP.

Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men commonly occur as a consequence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as prostate enlargement. Treatments for this can involve electrosurgical removal of a section of the prostate via transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). This can be performed using either monopolar or bipolar electrosurgery.

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the most common standard surgical procedure used for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Transurethral resection in saline (TURis) is a bipolar electrosurgery system used to prevent TURP (or TUR) syndrome. The bicarbonate Ringer's solution is not generally used as perfusate for TURP.

Objective: To compare transurethral resection in saline (TURIS), Greenlight laser vapo-enucleation of the prostate (GL.PVEP), and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), for controlling lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to large benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and to assess non-inferiority of 3-year re-treatment rates.

Patients And Methods: Eligible patients with BPH (prostate size 80-150 mL) were randomly assigned to one of the intervention groups.
