GAYA SOPENA, J.Mª et al. Transurethral treatment of massive hematuria post retropubic adenomectomy. Actas Urol Esp [online]. 2007, vol.31, n.7, pp.743-745. ISSN 0210-4806.

Introduction and objectives: to evaluate the frequency of reoperation caused by massive hematuria in the postoperation of open prostatectomy in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BHP) at our hospital. At the same time, we also want to evaluate the effectiveness and possible secondary effects of using transurethral approach to solve this surgical complications. Material and Methods: we analyzed retrospectively 540 open surgeries in benign prostatic hyperplasia, carried out from 1998 to 2005. We evaluated effectiveness, average surgery time and complications in case of endoscopic review. Results: a reoperation was necessary in 2.5% of all 540 cases. In all the cases reoperated, hemorrhage was controlled using transurethral approach. Average surgery time was 37 minutes and secondary effects observed were not important. Conclusions: transurethral approach is a simple and effective technique in the treatment of massive hematuria after open prostatectomy in BPH. Surgery time spent is acceptable, and early and delayed complications observed have been few and cannot, in our opinion, be imputed only to this technique.
