OBJECTIVE Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) represents a method of choice in surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate TURP mortality and morbidity rates. METHODS In 1998 184 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) indicating the presence of BPH underwent one of the following surgeries: TURP 149 (81%), transurethral incision of the prostate 19 (10.3%), and open surgery (suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy) 16 (8.7%). From the group of 149 patients treated by TURP the following patients were withdrawn from the study: 7 (4.7%) patients with a finding of incidental carcinoma of the prostate and 14 (9.4%) patients who did not attend the postoperative follow-ups. RESULTS 64 (50%) patients were treated for LUTS syndrome before TURP. TURP was applied in 69 (53.9%) cases for absolute indications. During the surgery and within one year after it, no mortality was recorded. Complications during the surgery were present in 13 (10.2%) patients, and within 24 h after the surgery in 38 (29.7%) patients. Early postoperative complications (up to 4 postoperative weeks) were recorded in 49 (38.3%) patients. Late postoperative complications within 3 month after the surgery occurred in 16 (12.5%) patients, within 6 months in 17 (13.3%) patients, and after 12 months in 17 (13.3%) patients. CONCLUSIONS Although complications occur almost in 58% of patients, TURP still represents the standard treatment of LUTS indicating the presence of BPH. (Tab. 5, Fig. 2, Ref. 15.).

D011468	Prostatectomy	Complete or partial surgical removal of the prostate. Three primary approaches are commonly employed: suprapubic - removal through an incision above the pubis and through the urinary bladder; retropubic - as for suprapubic but without entering the urinary bladder; and transurethral (TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF PROSTATE).

D011470	Prostatic Hyperplasia	Increase in constituent cells in the PROSTATE, leading to enlargement of the organ (hypertrophy) and adverse impact on the lower urinary tract function. This can be caused by increased rate of cell proliferation, reduced rate of cell death, or both.
