PG - 597-600 AB - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and outcome of palliative transurethral resection of the prostate (pTURP) in patients with server bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) due to prostatic obstruction induced by advanced prostate cancer. METHODS: All the 16 patients who had a pTURP between November 2007 and January 2015 due to BOO (high residual urine volume combined with hydronephrosis or urinary retention refractory to medical treatment) at our institution were retrospectively assessed. All the patients were diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer (III stage or IV stage). The clinical data, functional and oncological follow-up results were evaluated. The cancer specific survivals were estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 73.8 years (63-81 years). Five cases were graded in stage III of prostate cancer and 11 in stage IV. The indications for pTURP were refractory urinary retention in 12 cases, and high residual urine volume with hydronephrosis in 4 cases. The mean prostate volume at pTURP was 43.2 mL (28-78 mL) and the mean PSA (prostate specific antigen) level before pTURP was 48.2 mug/L (2-107 mug/L). The patients had mean residual urine volume 166.4 mL (50-450 mL) and mean urinary flow rate 3.6 mL/s (0-6 mL/s, n=7) before pTURP. It took mean 62.9 min (35-94 min) in pTURP with mean estimated blood loss 126.9 mL (30-263 mL) and mean resected tissue 14.1 g (10-22 g). There were no transfusion cases. Postoperative mean serum PSA 20.5 mug/L (1-41 mug/L), residual urine volume 43.4 mL (0-400 mL) and urinary flow rate 10.1 mL/s (7-16 mL/s, n=7) were shown in these cases. A patient encountered persistent hematuria needing irrigation. Compared with preoperation, the patients had significantly lower serum PSA level (P<0.001), less residual urine volume (P<0.001) and more urinary flow rate (P=0.001) after pTURP. The mean follow-up after pTURP was 36 months (1-86 months). In addition, 2 patients received repeated pTURP. At the time of the latest analysis, 3 patients died from prostate cancer progression. As estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis, the 2-, 3- and 5-year cancer specific survival rates after pTURP were 91%, 78% and 58%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Despite less resected tissue, greater delay in urination and reoperation rates, pTURP is a fairly effective procedure in patients with server BOO. Although a potential negative impact of pTURP on survival cannot be excluded, the estimated 3- and 5-year cancer specific survival rates in this series seem to justify this intervention.
