Comparison of fluid absorption during transurethral resection of prostate and Holmium-Yag laser enucleation of benign adenoma of prostate using breath XXXX concentration.

@entity1 @entity1068
OBJECTIVE: We conducted a study to detect, quantify and compare irrigation fluid absorption in transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), using BEC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 50 @entity1 of lower urinary tract symptoms, secondary to benign enlargement of prostate. The @entity1 were nonrandomly allocated to undergo TURP and HoLEP. Twenty-six @entity1 underwent TURP and the remaining 24 underwent HoLEP. Sterile water tagged with 1% @entity1068 w/v was used for irrigation. Absorption was detected and quantified every 10min by BEC levels. Data was analyzed using standard nomograms. RESULTS: In HoLEP, 14/24 had no fluid absorption. The remaining 10/24 showed fluid absorption ranging from 95 ml to 300 ml. In TURP, all had fluid absorption ranging from 250-980 ml. Three TURP @entity1 developed overt symptoms, while none did in the HoLEP group. CONCLUSIONS: Fluid absorption observed in our study in the HoLEP group was lower than in the TURP group.
