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 into the prostatic venous sinuses of the fluids used to irrigate the bladder during the operation.〔Rassweiler J, Teber D, Kuntz R, Hofmann R. (20066) Complications of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) – incidence, management and prevention. European Urology, 50 (5): 969-980〕 Symptoms and signs are varied and unpredictable, and result from fluid overload and disturbed electrolyte balance and hyponatraemia. Treatment is largely supportive and relies on removal of the underlying cause, and organ and physiological support. Pre-operative prevention strategies are extremely important. == Symptoms and signs == The clinical picture of TURP syndrome will vary according to its severity, and may further be influenced by the type of irrigant used. There is no classical presentation for TURP syndrome, indeed signs and symptoms are often vague and non-specific, therefore in the correct clinical context the clinician should have a high index of suspicion. Most of the manifestations are secondary to fluid overload. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Transurethral resection of the prostate syndrome」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
