Die Rolle des Gleitmittels bei der transurethralen Elektroresektion

Urethral stricture after bipolar transurethral resection of prostate – truth vs hype: A randomized controlled trial

“…Furthermore, some studies also propose that a longer postoperative catheterization time increases the post-operative chances of SU formation. [ 22 ] This association also could not be substantiated in our study as the average catheterization time among the three patients who developed stricture was shorter than that in the other 37 patients of the bipolar group. Moreover, among these three patients, two belonged to the failed medical management subgroup and one belonged to the refractory urinary retention subgroup, which shows that preoperative catheterization also did not have any significant effect on the development of SU.…”

“…Besides longer operative time and longer catheter time, the other factors that cause mechanical stress are an oversized resectoscope and its inappropriate axial and rotating movements. [ 22 ] Michielsen and Coomans used a 24 Fr resectoscope for both M-TURP and TURIS bipolar system, in their study. [ 16 ] Komura et al also used a similar sized resectoscope in both the groups, but it was 26 Fr.…”
