To assess the clinical efficacy of transurethral resection of the prostate in men suffering from moderate symptoms of prostatism.
Evaluated outcomes following transurethral prostatectomy in men presenting with moderate prostatism symptoms.
Measured peak urinary flow rates, obstructive and irritative symptom scores, urodynamic measures, and patient-reported global voiding assessments.
Mean peak urinary flow rate improved by 108%, while mean obstructive and irritative symptom scores decreased by 88% and 65%, respectively.
Overall, 84% of patients reported marked improvement in voiding symptoms postoperatively.
Baseline urodynamic parameters showed no utility in predicting postoperative patient outcomes.
