Impact of TURP on Quality of Life in Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Retrospective Study

Impact of TURP on Quality of Life in Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Retrospective Study

This study looks at how a common surgery called TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) affects the quality of life in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. By reviewing past medical records of patients who had this surgery, researchers will evaluate how urinary symptoms and overall well-being changed after the procedure.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Male patients with urinary symptoms related to prostatic obstruction
• Patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)
• Availability of pre- and post-operative data (including IPSS)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with urinary symptoms not related to prostatic obstruction
• Patients who did not undergo TURP
• Incomplete or missing clinical data required for analysis
