Abstract

BACKGROUND: Transurethral resection of the prostate is the most commonly performed procedure for the management of benign prostatic obstruction. However, little is known about the effect surgical duration has on complications. We assess the relationship between operative time and TURP complications using a modern national surgical registry.

METHODS: We queried the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) from 2006 to 2016 for patients undergoing TURP. Patients were separated into five groups based on operative time: 0-30 min, 30.1-60 min, 60.1-90 min, 90.1-120 min, and greater than 120 min. Standard statistical analysis, including multivariate regression, was performed to determine factors associated with complications.

RESULTS: 31,813 patients who underwent TURP were included. The overall complication rate was 9.0% and increased significantly with longer surgical duration (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS: As surgical duration increases, there is a significant increase in the rate of complications after TURP. These data demonstrate that this procedure is safest when performed in under 90 min.
