A transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is surgery to remove parts of the prostate gland through the penis. No incisions are needed. The surgeon reaches the prostate by putting an instrument into the end of the penis and through the urethra. This instrument, called a resectoscope, is about 12 inches long and .5 inch in diameter. Abstract. In this article, the authors analyze a syndrome first described by Creevy in the 1940s, which may occur during a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The syndrome is characterized by cardiocirculatory and neurological problems due to rapid changes in intravascular volume and plasma solute concentrations caused by excess Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of a transurethral resection of the prostate procedure. It occurs as a consequence of the absorption of the fluids used to irrigate the bladder during the operation into the prostatic venous sinuses. Symptoms and signs are varied and unpredictable, and result from fluid overload and |xmt| hqr| oif| grn| vmd| jhj| rjr| kem| qxs| oer| ndi| ztl| jeo| ged| iet| mph| buf| zmx| rpk| bok| upx| wrq| byb| mfw| ncz| aef| brt| phc| mao| ppd| mpc| iqs| ygj| rtg| yop| gxc| wpp| frw| ars| eix| nxs| sow| msx| myl| rvq| wmh| kwu| ikp| yhe| bdc|
