  • Title: [The experience in postoperative administration of alpha-adrenoblockers].
    Author: Miller AM.
    Journal: Urologiia; 2007; (5):55-8. PubMed ID: 18254227.
    Abstract:
    The study of efficacy of alpha-blocker alfuzosine (dalphaz CP) in a dose 10 mg/day for treatment of postoperative complications after transurethral resection (TUR) of the prostate and open adenomectomy (OAE) and in quality of life (QoL) improvement enrolled 22 patients after TUR of the prostate and 18 patients after OAE. Examination of the patients was carried out before the operation 10 days and 1 month after surgery. The assessment was performed according to IPSS, QoL index, V and RU. It is shown that patients treated without the alpha-blocker had more urination defects. Administration of alpha-blocker on day 1 after surgical treatment of prostatic adenoma leads to earlier regress of urination disorders. This improves the course of the postoperative period, lowers the risk of urogenital infection and risk of acute urine retention. Therefore QoL rises significantly.
