A Comparative Study of Post Operative Complications of Open Prostatectomy (Fryer’s) Versus Trans Urethral Resection of Prostate

Abstract

Aims & objectives: To compare post-operative complications between open prostatectomy (FREYER`S) and T.U.R.P. Material and Methods: Patients, who were candidates for prostate surgery & had been referred to urology outpatient clinic in our hospital between December 2011 to September 2013, were enrolled for the study. These patients were then divided in two groups – A and B randomly, by using the process of randomization. Group A comprised of patients for open prostatectomy and Group B of patients for T.U.R.P. Conclusion: In expert hands and with proper monitoring facilities TURP is the best method of prostatectomy for small glands. However in a country like ours where all ideal facilities are not available freyer`s method will still be widely practiced for long periods.
