ABSTRACT
Background: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a benign enlargement of the prostate gland as seen from a histopathological perspective, with incidence increasing with age. Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) is the most commonly used minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of BPH. The TURP procedure is performed according to clinical indications and may cause complications, both in the short and long term.
Method: This study used a retrospective descriptive design with a sample of 106 BPH patients who underwent TURP procedures at Teluk Kuantan Regional General Hospital.
Result: The characteristics of the study subjects showed an average age of 67.1±8 years. The distribution of major comorbidities included hypertension (32.0%), diabetes mellitus (9.4%), and heart disease (0.9%). Laboratory examination results showed anemia (hemoglobin <12 g/dL) in 21.6% of cases (n=23) and elevated serum creatinine (>1.5 mg/dL) in 2.8% of subjects (n=3). Perioperative parameters included: average prostate volume of 55.1±23.8 grams, postoperative hospital stay of 2.1±0.6 days, and intraoperative blood loss of 61.7±26.1 mL. Acute urinary retention was the primary indication for TURP (72.6%; n=77), while urethral stricture was the dominant complication (5.6%; n=6).
Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the main indication for TURP in this study was acute urinary retention (72.6%; n=77), while the most common complication found was a long-term complication in the form of urethral stricture (5.6%; n=6).
