  • Title: Prevention of irrigant absorption during TURP: continuous low-pressure irrigation.
    Author: Reuter M, Reuter HJ.
    Journal: Int Urol Nephrol; 1978; 10(4):293-300. PubMed ID: 730482.
    Abstract:
    Comparative studies have been carried out on bladder pressure. The pressure gradient between bladder and abdominal cavity during TURP proved to be significantly lower with continuous low-pressure irrigation than with conventional high-pressure irrigation. Absorption is reduced to a clinically insignificant rate, as shown by blood sugar determinations during TURP in 100 cases.
