Treating overactive bladder symptoms after transurethral prostatic surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia - Which medication to choose?

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms are often encountered in patients after transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) or transurethral incision of the prostate (TUI-P) for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). Either antimuscarinics or β-3 agonist has been found effective in relieving OAB symptoms. However, urologists usually do not prescribe such medication immediately after TUR-P or TUI-P to avoid an increase in postvoid residual and risk of urinary tract infection. If OAB medication can be used and adverse events (AEs) can be reduced to minimum, patients' quality of life after bladder outlet obstruction surgery could be improved. This study compared the safety and efficacy between solifenacin and mirabegron in men undergoing TUR-P or TUI-P.
