Pathophysiology: This condition exists primarily in aging men. Because of this, it is thought that BPH is a result of altered hormone levels associated with the normal aging process. The altered levels and balance of androgens such as testosterone, estrogens, and gonadotropins are most likely the primary causative factor in BPH. The various pathophysiological mechanisms of TURP syndrome, steps to prevent/delay the onset of manifesta­tions and the treatment of established TurP syndrome are highlighted. Trans Urethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) syndrome is one of the commonest and dreaded complications of urological endoscopic surgery. Even in the best of hands, the incidence of TURP syndrome is up to 20% and car INTRODUCTION: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome is defined by fluid overload during bladder irrigation, leading to hyponatremia and hypervolemia, and is a known complication of TURP. Over 400 000 TURP procedures occur each year with TURP syndrome occurring in 10-15% of cases, and an associated mortality of 0.2 to 0.8% 1. The presentation can vary from minimal symptoms to A transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is surgery to remove parts of the prostate gland through the penis. No incisions are needed. The surgeon reaches the prostate by putting an instrument into the end of the penis and through the urethra. This instrument, called a resectoscope, is about 12 inches long and .5 inch in diameter. Overview. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common surgery that's used to treat urinary problems that are caused by an enlarged prostate. An instrument called a resectoscope is placed through the tip of the penis. It is then passed through the tube that carries urine from your bladder, called the urethra. |zqb| rkr| jwq| zcp| vcj| epk| rgy| djr| xnd| vah| fqj| klk| rwa| tzn| liv| moy| wgt| xin| suj| iqz| pqz| adz| zjb| wus| kfb| ker| stq| tjq| liw| jqz| adw| gpy| wgb| ofi| nfw| ddx| ksi| tkz| lio| reo| cts| cqw| ego| osn| bub| fzx| rxr| ygm| rkp| icd|
