- Title
Morbidity, mortality and early outcome of transurethral resection of the prostate: a prospective multicenter evaluation of 10654 patients.
- Abstract
The article discusses research on patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in the German state of Bavaria. It references a study by O. Reich et al, published in the volume 180 issue of "Journal of Urology." The researchers found that when the resection weight was greater than 60 grams, the risk of intraoperative or postoperative bleeding requiring blood transfusion increased.
