Re: Urodynamically diagnosed detrusor hypocontractility: Should transurethral resection of the prostate be contraindicated?

摘要

Background: Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) suffering from hypocontractile detrusor were generally regarded unsuitable for surgery. This prospective study is to evaluate the efficacy of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) on BPH patients diagnosed detrusor hypocontrac-tility on urodynamic study (UDs). Methods: Twenty patients were included in the study with mean age of 74.20 ± 7.93 years (range: 57-88). Outcomes were determined by patients' self-assessment questionnaires, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Quality of Life (QoL), and UDs parameters including maximum uroflow rate
