Abstract
INTRODUCTION Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a very common illness affecting aged men, about half of patients will at some time need surgical intervention. Monopolar TURPis considered as the gold standard for the surgical treatment of BPH. Multiple studies showed higher complication rates in M-TURP operations in patients with large prostate volumes. The risk of hemorrhage is also higher specially in patients with blood disorders. Bipolar TURP, an electric current completes its circuit outside the body of the patients. This permits the use of saline as irrigating fluid, preventing the TUR syndrome and hyponatremia. Addionally B-TURP is associated with less bleeding and less operative time. The incidence of urethral stricture after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) ranges from 2.2 to 9.8%. Most of the cases occurs within 6 months of transurethral surgery. Presentation is likely with weak flow, infection or acute urinary retention. The exact etiology of urethral stricture after TURP is still unknown. Suggested causes after TURP include infection, mechanical trauma, prolonged indwellingcatheter time,local anesthesia, and electrical injury.
