Transurethral Resection of the Prostate at the Urology Department of Ignace Deen Hospital, Conakry, Guinea

Abstract

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains the gold standard treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Objective: To report the results of TURP to the Urology Department of Ignace Deen National hospital Patients and methods: This was a prospective, descriptive study of 2 years 5 months (January 1, 2015 to May 31, 2017), carried out in the urology department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital. We included 86 patients who benefited from an isolated TURP or associated with another surgical procedure. Results: TURP accounted for 51.19% of endoscopic surgery and 20.18% of prostate surgery. The mean age was 69.21 years (48 and 89). The mean total PSA level was 17.7ng / ml. The mean prostate volume was 54, 22 cm 3 (27 and 107). The indication for surgery was dominated by chronic retention of bladder urine (93.02%). The mean duration of TURP was 41.84 min (28 and 58). Postoperative complications were dominated by orchi-epididymitis (5.81%) and UVR (4.66%). The mean length of stay was 5.63 days. The histologic types were: benign prostatic hyperplasia (69.77%), prostatic adenocarcinoma (29.07%) and high grade intraepithelial prostate neoplasia (1.16%). After a mean followup of 2.21 months, the result was good in 95.35% of cases. Conclusion: It offers low morbidity and a good result in almost all cases.
