Gaurav Pareek

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) represents an increase in the total number of stromal and epithelial cells within the prostate gland. The present study was conducted to assess surgical outcome of cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted on 104 patients of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Preoperatively, all patients were subjected to prostate ultrasounds and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Patients underwent surgical removal of prostrate. The presence of co-morbidities and urologic and non-urologic complications were recorded. Results: Age group 20-40 years had 15, 40-60 years had 37 and >60 years had 52 patients. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Common complications were acute renal failure in 2, myocardial infarction in 1, urethral stenosis in 5 and urinary fistula in 8 cases. Open prostatectomy (OP) was done in 64 and transurethral resection of the prostate in 40 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that benign prostate hyperplasia is common in males and surgical management includes open prostatectomy and transurethral resection of the prostate. Key words: Benign prostatic hyperplasia, open prostatectomy, urethral stenosis
