ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common encountered urological problems.
Research motivation
Surgical treatment can cause great harm to patients, with slow postoperative recovery, high intraoperative blood loss, and a high incidence of perioperative complications.
Research objectives
This study aimed to explore the clinical effect of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with a cylindrical water bladder for the treatment of BPH.
Research methods
A total of 140 BPH patients who intended to undergo surgical treatment in our hospital were selected for this study. And randomly allocated to the study and control groups (n = 70 for each group) based on a random number table.
Research results
Lower serum prostate-specific antigen levels and quality of life scores were observed after 1 and 3 mo of treatment compared to pre-treatment levels in the study group. The surgical complication rate of the study group (4.29%) was lower than that of the control group (12.86%)
Research conclusions
Transurethral columnar balloon dilatation of the prostate surgery for BPH and TURP have both achieved good therapeutic effects, but the former has advantages of less surgical trauma.
Research perspectives
There are only few studies that have been conducted to compare longitudinal and transverse cylindrical water balloon dilatation and TURP. Further studies are required.
