| Popis: | In a prospective manner we studied various factors affecting fluid absorption during HoLEP. We also simultaneously evaluated changes in serum electrolytes and hemoglobin decrease during HoLEP.This prospective study comprised of 53 patients who underwent HoLEP at our institute. Irrigation fluid was normal saline tagged with ethanol (1% w/v). Intraoperatively a standard breath analyzer was used to monitor expired breath ethanol levels during the procedure at 10-minute intervals. Patients who absorbed irrigating fluid as indicated by positive intraoperative breath tests were considered absorbers. Serum electrolyte and hemoglobin estimations were done before and after surgery. Total irrigation time, amount of irrigation fluid used, weight of resected tissue and presence of capsular perforation were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed to observe the effects of various factors on the amount of intraoperative fluid absorption.Of 53 patients studied 14 (26.41%) demonstrated fluid absorption in the range of 213 to 930 ml (mean 459). Preoperative prostate weight, total irrigation time, amount of irrigation fluid used and resected tissue weight were all significantly greater in absorbers. Similarly, absorbers had a statistically significant decrease in hemoglobin level postoperatively. There was no statistically significant change in serum electrolytes between absorbers and nonabsorbers.Preoperative weight of prostate, total irrigation time, amount of irrigation fluid used and weight of resected tissue all directly influence the amount of fluid absorption during HoLEP. There is no significant change in serum electrolytes and no risk of the transurethral resection syndrome. |
