Abstract
Objective: To assess the incidence, risk factors, and timing of specific causes of reoperations following PVP.
Material and methods: A retrospective analysis of data on men who underwent GreenLight PVP between 2004 and 2019 in a single center and required surgical intervention for bladder neck contracture (BNC), urethral stricture (US), or persistent/recurrent prostate adenoma.
Results: The overall rate of reoperations was 13.8% during a 61-month median follow-up of 377 patients. Reoperations were due to BNC, US, and adenoma in 7.7%, 5.6%, and 4.8% of cases, respectively. The median interval until reoperation for US (11 months) was significantly shorter. None of the risk factors had any relevance to US. In patients who underwent reoperation for BNC, lasing time and energy were significantly lower, and the prostate volume was smaller; however, the multivariate analysis only identified shorter lasing time as a predictor. In patients who had reoperation for persistent/recurrent adenoma, the PSA was increased, while the prostate volume was non-significantly high, and performance by less-experienced surgeons was associated with a higher rate of reoperations (p < 0.05). A longer lasing time predicted an increased risk of reoperation for adenoma in multivariate analysis.
Conclusions: An unselective utilization of PVP may result in a relatively high rate of reoperations. The correlation of BNC with shorter lasing time may imply a higher risk after PVP of smaller prostates. A longer lasing time predicts an increased risk of reoperation due to persistent/recurrent adenoma, which may be related to higher prostate volumes and inefficient PVP by less-experienced surgeons.
期刊介绍:
The Arab Journal of Urology is a peer-reviewed journal that strives to provide a high standard of research and clinical material to the widest possible urological community worldwide. The journal encompasses all aspects of urology including: urological oncology, urological reconstructive surgery, urodynamics, female urology, pediatric urology, endourology, transplantation, erectile dysfunction, and urinary infections and inflammations. The journal provides reviews, original articles, editorials, surgical techniques, cases reports and correspondence. Urologists, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and scientists are invited to submit their contributions to make the Arab Journal of Urology a viable international forum for the practical, timely and state-of-the-art clinical urology and basic urological research.
