What is an electric prostate resection?

Transurethral resection of the prostate was introduced into China in the 80s of the last century, and with the improvement of instruments and equipment, TURP surgery has the advantages of small trauma, postoperative recovery block, and definite curative effect, and has become the preferred operation for the treatment of prostatic hyperplasia and has been widely carried out.

Surgery can be considered for patients with recurrent urinary retention, bladder stones, filling urinary incontinence, hydronephrosis, and poor drug therapy, while surgery is contraindicated for patients with severe systemic diseases, severe urinary tract infections, and complex urethral strictures. Prostate cancer should be ruled out prior to surgery, and prostate biopsy should be performed if not. Patients with urinary tract infection should be controlled before surgery. Combined spinal-epidural anesthesia was used for surgery, and the urethral catheter was removed about 5 days after surgery. After surgery, the stool should be kept smooth and the patient should not be forced to stool.

Drink plenty of water after the catheter is removed. Urinary incontinence is common in patients after recanalization, but this phenomenon is often temporary, and the incidence of permanent urinary incontinence is very low. May occur in some patients postoperativelyepididymitisTherefore, patients with fever and scrotal swelling and pain should be seen in time about 2 weeks after surgery. At present, transurethral laser technology can also be used to treat prostatic hyperplasia, because its high temperature can vaporize tissues and directly coagulate blood vessels, which can reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss and is more suitable for elderly patients.
