Assessment of the infectious factor in transurethral surgery of benign prostate hyperplasia

Abstract

Performing surgical interventions for benign prostate hyperplasia against the background of chronic urinary tract infection or prostatitis can adversely affect the course of the postoperative period and mediate the development of complications. Therefore, it is important to understand the pre- and postoperative bacterial status of the patients in various endourological surgical techniques and its relationship with possible infectious complications. This review raises the problem of insufficient knowledge regarding the clinical structure of infections during transurethral surgery, assessment of their relationship with the course of the underlying pathology and the severity of symptoms.
