PREVENTION OF COMPLICATIONS OF TRANSVESICAL ADENOMECTOMY WITH A BLIND SUTURE OF THE URINARY BLADDER
Aim. To determine the frequency and develop methods for prevention of possible complications of transvesical adenomectomy. Methods. Conducted was an analysis of results of surgical treatment of 492 patients with prostate adenoma. One-stage suprapubic transvesical adenomectomy with a primary blind suture of the urinary bladder and hemostasis of the adenoma bed was performed in 347 patients. Results. In the postoperative period inflammatory complications of the urinary tract were observed in 5 (1.4%) out of 347 operated patients. It was established that the frequency and nature of both early and late pyo-inflammatory and obstructive postoperative complications of the suprapubic adenomectomy depend on the method of hemostasis of the bed of the adenoma and on the time of urination recovery. Conclusion. The main measures of prevention of complications during suprapubic adenomectomy are hemostasis of the bed of the adenoma by temporary retriganization with removable hemostatic ligatures, early recovery of urethral voiding (2-4 days) and application of antibiotics to the bed of the adenoma via the drainages of the deference ducts.
