| Popis: | Aim : To evaluate the peri-operative morbidity of men taking clopidogrel who underwent photoselective vaporisation of the prostate (PVP). Patients and Methods : A prospective database was collected. Between March 2005 and July 2010, 480 men underwent PVP. Of these, 18 men underwent PVP treatment while on clopidogrel. The surgery was carried out with either an 80W KTP laser or a 120W lithium triborate laser. Results : In the peri-operative period there were no complications related to PVP. There were no urinary tract infections, nor did any patient require bladder re-catheterisation. No cardiovascular events were reported within 3 months of the procedure. At 3 months post operatively, the International Prostate Symptom Score±standard deviation had improved from was 17.5±10.6 to 9.2±6.1 P |
