Abstract

To assess the appropriateness of the technique of suprapubic prostatectomy using a removable bladder neck partition suture for use in a developing world hospital and to provide contemporary open prostatectomy outcome data currently lacking in the world's literature. From 1984 to 1994, 240 consecutive patients presenting to a developing world hospital with acute urinary retention underwent suprapubic prostatectomy using a removable bladder neck partition suture. The average length of time from bladder decompression until operation was 2.5 months. The outcome of these cases was retrospectively analyzed. The overall early complication rate was 19.6%. There were no deaths. The transfusion rate was 4.6%. Clot retention occurred in 6.7%, and 2.9% required return to the operating room for evaluation. For the second half of the series, the early complication rate decreased to 8.3%, the clot retention rate to 0.8%, and the transfusion rate to 1.7%. Other early and late complications were minimal. The length of delay from decompression until operation did not affect outcome. The technique of suprapubic prostatectomy using a removable bladder neck partition suture is appropriate for use in developing world hospitals because of its low mor...Continue Reading
