summary
- The aim of the study.
Evaluation of the blood loss in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) after transurethral resection
- of the prostate (TUR-P) in regards to previously chosen conservative treatment method.
-
- Materials and methods.
The group of 119 patients was evaluated. Patients formed homogenous population as regards to the
- baseline laboratory test results. The size of the prostate was tested with transabdominal ultrasound scan (volume of the gland was
- bigger in patients receiving finasteride therapy). The haemoglobin and haematocrit levels were measured before and after the surgery.
- The study results were statistically analyzed.
-
- Results.
In the patients on finasteride therapy prior to the TUR-P, the haemoglobin and haematocrit levels in the perioperative period
- were considerably higher than those within the patient groups treated with alpha blockers or receiving no medication.
-
- Conclusions.
Finasteride treatment in the patients’ preparation for the TUR-P markedly reduces the risk of perioperative bleeding, and
- thus – minimizes the transfusion of blood derivative preparations risk. 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor may be taken into account as a preoperative
- drug before the surgery in patients with BPH, or those who do not agree for blood transfusion or any blood derivatives.
