Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a surgical procedure often used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. TURP often results in multiple symptoms that worsen a patient's condition, such as hyperglycemia. The relationship between TURP and hyperglycemia is not direct, but it is important to consider the potential impact of hyperglycemia on individuals undergoing TURP. The most critical point in the TURP syndrome is early diagnosis and treatment. Nurses should be aware of the symptoms to prevent further outcomes. To optimise the nursing care, integrating of symptoms management model in TURP care is important as it provides a conceptual foundation for understanding patient care, guides clinical decision‐making, contributes to evidence‐based practice and fosters professional development. Also nurses can deliver high‐quality TURP and hyperglycemia care that meets the diverse needs of patients and contributes to positive health outcomes. However, a study describing the symptoms management of patients living with TURP syndrome and hyperglycemia is limited. Therefore, the article aims to explain the management of hyperglycemia among patients after TURP. The findings of this review are expected to help the nurses notice the symptoms and make accurate interventions along with evaluations.

Background: Suspected localized prostate cancer (PCa) patients with dysuria Complete intrafascial prostatectomy (CIP) can remove the whole prostate gland with the maximal retain of adjacent normal tissues around the prostate, and can be applied in some suspected localized prostate cancer (PCa) patients with dysuria. However, precious few studies have assessed the efficacy and safety of CIP in these patients without preoperative needle biopsies. Methods:In this retrospective single-arm cohort study, all 22 suspected PCa patients with dysuria who underwent CIP at our hospital were enrolled. The clinical data including age, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), free-serum PSA, prostate volume, perioperative and postoperative complications were collected. The PSA level at 6 weeks after CIP and recoveries of urinary continence and erectile function were acquired in the follow-up procedures, and were used as the main measurements of efficacy and safety for CIP respectively. Results:The patients had an average age of 71.91±8.29 years and an average preoperative PSA level of 10.75±4.25 ng/mL. The operations for all 22 patients were successfully completed. The average operation time was 135.20±41.44 min (range, 40.0-215.0 min), and the average blood loss volume was 128.64±145.09 mL. In total, 17 patients (77.27%) had PCa confirmed by postoperative pathology, and 5 patients (22.73%) had benign prostatic hyperplasia. The PSA level dropped to 0.010±0.004 ng/mL at 6 weeks after surgery. According to the loose criteria to assess urinary incontinence, the patients achieved continence rates of 63.6% immediately after the operation, 95.5% at 1 month, and 100% at 3 months. According to the strict criteria, the continence rates immediately, and at 1, 3, 6, and 9 months after surgery were 27.3%, 63.6%, 90.9%, 95.5%, and 100%, respectively. None of the patients complained of urinary obstruction symptoms after surgery. Before CIP, all the patients had erectile dysfunction and an International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF-5) score of 9.64±5.91.After surgery, the patients had IIEF-5 scores at 3, 6, and 12 months of 5.45±4.43, 6.95±5.30, and 7.57±5.69, respectively.Conclusions: Although the study had some limitations, CIP may be a prudent option for patients with suspected localized PCa who also present with dysuria.
Background: TURP remains the gold standard for simple prostatectomy presently. Different fluids have been used for irrigation while performing monopolar TURP. The choice of irrigation fluid depends on a lot of factors. Aim: We sought to find out if the outcome of monopolar TURP using 5% dextrose water in our setting compares with findings in other studies using different fluids as irrigation fluid in monopolar TURP. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study of 220 patients who had monopolar TURP using 5% dextrose water as irrigation fluid from 2015 to 2020. Results: The study was completed by 220 patients. The mean age was 66.25 yrs. The mean weight of prostate was 53.2 g, and mean resected weight was 30.10 g using a mean irrigation volume of 45.35 liters, 5% dextrose water over a mean resection time of 66.08 mins. The mean changes in International Prostate Symptom Score/quality of life score (IPSS/QOLS) were statistically significant. Early complications recorded were postoperative hematuria with clot retention (1.4%), urinary tract infection (UTI) (13.2%), and secondary hemorrhage (10%). TURP syndrome was not recorded. Late complications seen within 2 years follow-up were transient urinary incontinence (6.4%), urethral stricture (4.1%), and bladder neck contracture (2.3%). There was no repeat TURP for residual adenoma within this period. Conclusion: TURP using 5% dextrose water has comparable outcomes to other irrigation fluids for monopolar TURP. It is a good alternative to any other irrigation fluid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
