The resected prostate weight matters in transurethral resection of the prostate in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although a notable proportion of patients report improvement in clinical outcomes following transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), symptoms persist in about 25% of cases, resulting in dissatisfaction with the treatment. Due to this dissatisfaction, several studies have been conducted to determine the parameters that can predict outcomes. These parameters include the resected weight and the resected weight fraction. However, there is ambiguity as to what constitutes an adequate resection. Even more, the effect of the resected weight on clinical outcomes in African men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is limited. Relevant data is needed to improve clinical practice. This study aims to determine the effect of the resected prostate weight on clinical outcomes
