Title: Suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy with opening the prostatic cavity wide to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia of small volume
Abstract: OBJECTIVE To evaluate therapeutic effects suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy with opening the prostatic cavity wide on BPH with small volume. METHODS From Aug 1994 to Dec 2003, fifty-six patients with BPH of small volume were treated by suprapubic trans vesical prostatectomy with opening the prostatic cavity wide. RESULTS Forty-two patients have been followed up for 3 approximately 22 months. Neither incontinence nor bladder outlet obstruction had been observed. IPSS, QOL and PVR decreased from (31.0 +/- 2.3) score, (4.5 +/- 0.4) score and (230.0 +/- 30.0) ml (pre-operative) to (7.5 +/- 2.0) score, (1.5 +/- 0.5) score and disappearance (post-operative) respectively. All these differences were statistically significant (P <0.01). CONCLUSION The procedure is effective for the patient with BPH of small volume.
