Abstract:
Surgical resolution of benign prostatic hyperplasia is modified as access to different health technologies. Complications of endoscopic versus conventional approach are similar. The objective of this study was to retrospectively analyze the results of conventional surgery and monopolistic endoscopic resection of prostate hyperplasia in a tertiary hospital in Ecuador. Patients and Methods: Retrospective, analytical study. 232 patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia were included in the study in the urology service of the Luis Vernaza hospital in the period January 2015 – December 2016. Patients were divided into 2 subgroups according to the therapeutic–surgical approach: conventional prostatectomy (n.120) and endoscopic resection (n. 112). Results: By inferential statistics, a statistically significant relationship was found between the type of therapeutic approach with the surgical time (p. 0.001) and with the bleeding index (p. 0.001) and between age and surgical time (p. 0.001). The most important complications were: immediate bleeding (n-9) and wound infections (no. 10) for conventional surgery and immediate bleeding (n-2) and sepsis (no. 3) for endoscopic surgery. The surgical mean time was 103.03 min and 75.14 min respectively. Conclusions: Technological development has brought the certainty that endoscopic surgery has fewer complications, decreases surgical times.
