[Multifactorial analysis of the pyuria after transurethral prostatectomy].

Abstract

Multifactorial analysis on 395 patients revealed important factors which prolong the pyuria after transurethral prostatectomy. They were the age of the patient, anemia and leukocytosis before surgery. These are factors which relate with the defense mechanism of the patient. Local factors, such as the duration of indwelling urethral catheter, the size of the prostate or prostatic bed and preoperative infection, were not so important for prolonging the pyuria after transurethral prostatectomy. The time of the resection and weight of the prostate had an intimate relation each other, and the former was the more important factor. The use of antimicrobials probably controlled these local risk factors, thus making them unimportant in the prolongation of the pyuria after transurethral prostatectomy.
