The decline in transurethral resection of the prostate gland in Irish public hospitals between 2005 and 2021
Background
Lower urinary tract symptoms due to an enlarged prostate is a common condition. Transurethral resection of the prostate gland (TURP) has been the gold standard treatment. The objective of this study was to assess the trends in the prevalence of TURP procedures in Irish public hospitals within the period of 2005–2021. In addition, we explore the attitudes and practices of urologist in Ireland on this topic.
Methods
An analysis using the Hospital In-Patient Enquiry (HIPE) system using code 37203-00 was undertaken. 16,176 discharges contained the code of interest and had undergone a TURP procedure. The data from this cohort was further analysed. In addition, members of the Irish Society of Urology undertook a bespoke questionnaire to understand the TURP surgery practices.
Results
There has been a substantial decline in the prevalence of TURP procedures in Irish public hospitals from 2005 to 2021. The number of patients discharged from Irish hospitals with a TURP procedure was 66% less in 2021 compared to 2005. 75% (n = 36) of urologist surveyed felt that the declining TURP numbers were due to lack of resources, access to theatre/inpatient beds and outsourcing. 91.5% (n = 43) felt that the declining TURP numbers would result in a lack of training opportunities for trainees, 83% (39) felt this has increased morbidity for patients.
Conclusions
TURP procedures in Irish public hospitals has declined over the 16-year period studied. This decline is a concern for patient morbidity and urology training.
期刊介绍:
Since its establishment in 2003, The Surgeon has established itself as one of the leading multidisciplinary surgical titles, both in print and online. The Surgeon is published for the worldwide surgical and dental communities. The goal of the Journal is to achieve wider national and international recognition, through a commitment to excellence in original research. In addition, both Colleges see the Journal as an important educational service, and consequently there is a particular focus on post-graduate development. Much of our educational role will continue to be achieved through publishing expanded review articles by leaders in their field.
Articles in related areas to surgery and dentistry, such as healthcare management and education, are also welcomed. We aim to educate, entertain, give insight into new surgical techniques and technology, and provide a forum for debate and discussion.
