BACKGROUND: Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is considered the gold standard for the surgical treatment of BPH. Irrigant fluid absorption by the @entity1 is a potentially serious complication of TURP and can lead to dilutional @entity2753 and @entity1069 . Other common complications of TURP include @entity293 and secondary @entity548 . The objective of this study was to compare the frequency of @entity260 ( @entity293 and dilutional @entity2753 ) between 1.5% @entity8959 and sterile distilled water used as irrigant in BPH @entity1 after TURP. METHODS: This randomized controlled trial was conducted in department of Urology, PIMS Islamabad, from August 2013 to February 2014. A total of 170 adult male @entity1 between 50-80 years of age undergoing TURP with prostate volume more than 30cc on ultrasound. 85 @entity1 each were randomly allocated to two groups. In group-A, @entity8959 was used as irrigan,t solution during TURP while in group-B distilled water was used. Serum @entity1372 levels were measured at 6th @entity86 hour to look for dilutional @entity2753 . On the 15th @entity86 day they were inquired about any clinical features of @entity293 . Also urine routine examination was performed to look for the presence of WBCs in the urine. RESULTS: Post-operative dilutional @entity2753 was observed in 13 (15.3%) @entity1 in Group A and in 10 (11.8%) @entity1 in group-B. The difference between both the groups being nonsignificant (p-value=0.501).Frequency of @entity86 @entity293 on 15th @entity86 day in group-A was 23(27.1%) while in group-B it was 16 (18.8%), the difference among both the groups being insignificant (p-value=0.202). CONCLUSION: Although the frequency of @entity260 like UTI and dilutional @entity2753 was less with sterile distilled water, yet, the difference was statistically not significant.
