| Popis: |
Dystrophic calcification (DC) after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is rare.In our patient, bipolar TURP was performed by an experienced urologist, without complications. Seven months later, he developed a tingling urethral sensation, difficulty in urination, urgency, and perineal discomfort. Computed tomography (CT) showed a high-density area occupying the prostatic resection cavity. Re-surgery involved laser ablation of the DC. Two months later, the DC recurred. At the second re-surgery, the DC was removed without using electricity. Repeat CT at 13 months showed near complete disappearance of the DC. Wound healing might interrupt the vicious cycle of DC recurrence. |
