Mr. Zhao is 90 years old this year. Years of prostatic hyperplasia and difficulty urinating have caused serious damage to his body and life. Serious impact. In order to solve this “historical problem”, the family sought medical treatment everywhere. In February this year, Mr. Zhao felt that his condition was getting worse and worse, so he was sent by his family to the outpatient department of urology and nephrology of Shibo High-tech Hospital.
“Urinary retention is generally more common in elderly men, especially in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. The patient has been plagued by difficulty urinating with benign prostatic hyperplasia for many years, and the effect of drug treatment is not satisfactory, so surgery is the best choice.” Urinary Liu Zhizhan, director of the Department of Nephrology, said.
After physical examination, it was found that in addition to the underlying diseases, the elderly also suffered from urinary retention, right inguinal hernia, long foreskin and adhesions, plus Old age, low tolerance for surgery. In addition, the underlying diseases can be aggravated by surgery or anesthesia, and the team of urology and nephrologists faces considerable challenges. However, in order to relieve the pain and troubles of patients in a timely and effective manner, the hospital medical team decided to face the difficulties and solve the three major problems with one operation with minimal trauma.
In order to ensure that the operation is foolproof, the team of the urology and nephrology department compares the inspection results and integrates the relevant conditions, strictly controls the preparation of each operation, and carefully formulates the treatment plan for Mr. Zhao, and strives to minimize the operation risk. .
Afterwards, the team of urology and nephrologists successfully broke through the age limit with the cooperation of the anesthesiology department, and performed plasma enucleation of the prostate + right inguinal hernia repair + circumcision for the 90-year-old man, and the urine was removed after surgery. After the tube, the old man urinated smoothly and has been discharged from the hospital successfully. The operation time is short, the amount of blood loss is low, and the risk of complications is low, which relieves the pain of the patient to the greatest extent and greatly improves the quality of life.
“As my country gradually enters an aging society, there are more and more elderly patients with urinary diseases combined with various underlying diseases. Minimally invasive surgery has obvious advantages in the treatment of elderly patients with high-risk urinary diseases.” Liu Introducing the battle. “Prostatic hyperplasia is a common and frequently-occurring disease in urology, and the symptoms progress slowly. Many elderly people mistakenly believe that poor urination and frequent nocturia are normal phenomena of the elderly, so that they miss the best time for treatment and experience urinary retention and urinary retention. Incontinence, which in turn can lead to urinary tract infections, bladder stones, hydronephrosis, and even uremia. Therefore, benign prostatic hyperplasia should not be underestimated.”
