Q

TURP disadvantages

A

Recurrent osbtruction, urethra trauma, stricture may develop
Delayed bleeding may occur
Retrograde ejaculation due to removal of prostatic tissue at the bladder neck, which causes the seminal fluid to flow backward into the bladder

28
Q

TURP - nursing implications

A 
Monitor for TUR syndrome 
Monitor for hemorrhage
Observe for s/s urethral stricture 
Monitor urinary output 
Bladder spasms
29
Q

What are s/s urethral stricture

A

dysuria, straining, weak urinary stream

30
Q

What is TUR syndrome?

A

Transurethral resection syndrome (TUR) - complication of TURP

31
Q

What are causes of TUR

A

Neuro
CV
Electrolyte (hyponatremia, hypo-osmality, hypovolemia)

32
Q

TUR s/s

A 
Lethargy and confusion
Hypertension
Tachycardia
Nausea and vomiting
Visual disturbances
Headache
Muscle spasms
Seizures
33
Q

TUR interventions

A

During the operative procedure, normal saline cannot be used at it conducts electricity
– intraoperative irrigating solution of glycine, sarbitol/mannitol, or water is discontinued and replaced with normal saline

    • administer diuretics
    • monitor i&o
    • monitor the patient VS and LOC
    • differentiate the lethargy and confusion of TUR syndrome from postoperative disorientation and hyponatremia
    • maintain safety during times of confusion
    • assess lung and heart sounds for indications of pulmonary edema, heart failure, or both (fluid already presents in profound hyponatremia)
34
Q

TURP output

A

When assessing the output, you will follow the tube to the middle point of the tube/line, not just what is in the drainage bag

35
Q

Prostate cancer

A

PSA and DRE = most effective

38
Q

Prostate cancer - prostectomy concerns

A

prostate is really deep in pelvis and surrounded by a lot of vascular tissue, so the we are concerned about hemorrhage during and after

septicemia, renal issues, respiratory

39
Q

Radical prostectomy includes removal of what

A

prostate, lymph nodes, some seminal vesicles
