USING THE MODIFIED CLAVIEN GARDING SYSTEM TO CLASSIFY COMPLICATIONS OF BIPOLAR TURP

Abstract

introduction: TURP is considered gold standard treatment for BPH. TURP was first introduced in 1929 by Maximilian Stern. Complications in TURP are less but not absolute. Modified Clavien Dindo Grading System is well-established classification for post-operative complications. Objective of this study is to assess complications of BIPOLAR TURP by using the modified Clavien grading system. Objective: To assess the evaluation of complications after bipolar transurethral resection of prostate using the Modified Clavien grading system. Materials And Methods: 110 BIPOLAR TURP performed between April 2019 and March 2021 at Meenakshi mission hospital Madurai Tamilnadu India were reviewed retrospectively. All patients with various complications were graded using Modified Clavien grading system in 5 grades. Results: 110 cases were enrolled in our study out of them 21 (19.9%) patients developed complications there was no mortality. Out of 21; 11 (52.4%) grade I, 5 (23.8%) grade II, 2 (9.5%) grade IIIa, 1 ( 4.8%) grade IIIb, 1 (4.8%) in each grade IVa and IVb. Conclusion: Modified Clavien Grading System is an easy and feasible classification system for postoperative complications. In spite of various shortcomings, it is very useful to grade end-urological procedure BIPOLAR TURP short-term complications.
