Introduction. In patients with suprapubic tube (SPT) surgical restoration of voiding is not 100% successful. Sometimes urination is inadequate or not recovered at all.Objective. To determine factors influencing the outcomes of benign prostatic hyperplasia / benign prostate obstruction (BPH/BPO) surgery in patients with cystostomy drainage.Materials & methods. The study included 52 men with suprapubic tube initially placed for urinary retention caused by prostate hyperplasia. Afterwards, all patients underwent transurethral resection of the prostate. The age of the patients ranged from 48 to 85 years old. Clinical and urodynamic data of the patients were analysed, restoration of adequate urination after surgery was evaluated as well. We took into account patients age, IPSS scores, bacterial growth in the urine culture test, number of episodes of urinary retention, volume of urinary retention prior to cystostomy, prostate volume, intravesical prostate growth, detrusor overactivity and ability to void in the presence of SPT.Results. We were unable to achieve adequate bladder emptying after transurethral resection of the prostate in 4 (7.6%) patients. These patients required continued bladder drainage after surgery. In 48 (92.4%), adequate urination was restored after surgery and cystostomy drains were removed. Patients with one or more of the following characteristics were more likely to experience a failure of surgical treatment: age over 80, residual urine volume over 1500 mL, and absence of overactive bladder.Conclusion. The study indicates that use of cystometry prior to BPH/BPO surgery is reasonable in such patients. Feasibility of BPH/BPO surgery for this group of patients should be considered individually. |
