RETROPUBIC PROSTATECTOMY IN 96 PATIENTS IN SOBA UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Abstract
Background: Retropubic prostatectomy(RPP), is a good treatment option for men with symptomatic bladder outlet obstruction caused by large size prostate.
Objective: To determine the intraoperative, early and late postoperative complications of retropubic prostatectomy.
Methods :This is a retrospective, small-scale hospital based study conducted in Soba University Hospital, Sudan. We include 96 patients, from Jan 2003 to Jan 2008 who underwent RPP.
Results: The mortality rate was zero. Retrograde ejaculation in 50.1% , clot retention due to catheter block in 36.5% and transient urinary incontinence in 24%, all were improved within the first three months postoperatively and intraoperative bleeding was reported in 9 patients (10%). Erectile dysfunction in 7.5% , wound infection in 6.3% , urethral stricture in 5.2% ,urine leakage in 4.2% and injury to adjacent structures(peritoneum–bowel) was not reported.
Conclusion: The complications of retropubic prostatectomy in Soba Hospital was found to be comparable to the literature.
