研究目的
To retrospectively review a large cohort of patients who underwent GreenLight Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP) and perform a complications analysis, with a focus on postoperative fever and sepsis.
研究成果
GreenLight PVP can be considered a safe treatment for BPH, with a limited incidence and usually low severity of postoperative complications. However, urinary infections remain a critical issue due to their potential risk of progression to severe and life-threatening disease.
研究不足
The study is limited by its retrospective nature and the focus on a single center, which may affect the generalizability of the results.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A retrospective review of clinical, surgical, and follow-up data was carried out for all patients who underwent GreenLight PVP from 01/2015 to 12/2017 in a single center.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
288 PVPs were performed in Città della Salute e della Scienza, ospedale Molinette.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
An XPS 180 Watt GreenLight laser was used.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
All patients were treated under spinal anesthesia. A pre-operative urine culture was collected, and antibiotic therapy was prescribed if positive. All patients received antibiotic prophylaxis at the time of surgery.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was performed using STATA software.
