Evaluation of the outcomes of TURP using Uroflowmetry data and IPSS in older patients with low prostate volume

Background/Aims: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) without urodynamic testing in elderly patients with prostate volume less than 35 cc. Methods: A cohort of 116 patients over 70 years of age with a prostate volume less than 35 cc who underwent TURP were included in the study. International prostate symptom score (IPSS) and maximum flow rate (Qmax) measured by uroflowmetry were evaluated one month before the procedure and compared with the values at three and six months after the procedure. After exclusion of 24 patients with urethral stricture during TURP, the data set of 92 patients was subjected to further analysis. Results: The significant p value was p
