Sedation as an alternative anesthetic technique for frail patients in transurethral resection of the prostate.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) under Monitored Anesthesia Care MAC/Sedation (macTURP), as compared with TURP under general (genTURP) or spinal (spTURP) anesthesia, is a safer and infrequently used technique reserved for high-risk patients.

Objectives

The aim of this study is to compare 30-day postoperative outcomes of TURP using the three types of anesthesia techniques.

Design and methods

The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for patients who underwent TURP between 2008 and 2019. Demographics, lab values, medical history, and 30-day outcomes were compared. Univariate and multivariate regression models for postoperative complications were constructed. A propensity score-matched ana
