Abstract :

Aim: To compare the complications and functional outcomes of open prostatectomy with TURP in management of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Material and Methods: Patients who underwent prostatectomy for various indications admitted to a general surgical unit in our hospital during a period from January2016 to December2016 were included in our study.

Results: Two groups were formed, i.e. OP and TUR groups. OP Group included 26 patients who underwent open prostatectomy while TUR group included 24 patients.. Hospital stay, wound complications were slightly more in OP group. Better compliance was seen in a patient of TUR group. No mortality occurred in our study.

Conclusion: We concluded that TURP is the procedure of choice in the management of BPH particularly for patients with mild to moderate prostatic hyperplasia and in the aged patients with co–existing medical illness.
