BACKGROUND AND AIMS: To investigate the possible effect of resectoscope size on @entity3832 rate after monopolar TURP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study of 71 @entity1 undergoing TURP was conducted at two centers' from November 2009 to May 2013. The @entity1 were divided into one of two groups according to the resectoscope diameter used for TURP. Resectoscope diameter was 24 F in group 1 (n=35) or 26 F in group 2 (n=36). Urethral catheter type, catheter removal time and energy type were kept constant for all @entity1 . @entity3832 formation in different localizations after TURP was compared between groups. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, pre-operative prostate gland volume (PV), @entity1486 (PSA), maximal urinary flow rates (Qmax), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and post-voiding residual urine volume (PVR). The resection time and weight of resected prostate tissue were similar for both groups (p>0.05). A statistically significant higher incidence of bulbar stricture was detected in group 2 compared to group1 (p=0.018). CONCLUSIONS: The use of small-diameter resectoscope shafts may cause a reduction in the incidence of uretral strictures in relation to urethral friction and @entity16 .

Does resectoscope size play a role in formation of XXXX following transurethral prostate resection?
