Скачать или смотреть BPH Crisis: Acute Retention, Catheter Relief & Definitive TURP Treatment

Small bytes, big learning.
In today’s MedByte Surgery Week finale, a 67-year-old man arrives with acute urinary retention — severe suprapubic pain, inability to urinate, and a massively distended bladder. A bedside scan reveals over 900 mL retained, pointing strongly toward BPH, the most common cause in older men.
Walk through the full management pathway:
✔ Classic signs of acute retention
✔ Why BPH causes urethral obstruction
✔ Immediate relief with Foley catheterization
✔ How to evaluate chronic obstruction (DRE, PSA, ultrasound)
✔ When medical therapy isn’t enough
✔ Gold-standard treatment: TURP, removing obstructing prostate tissue
✔ Expected recovery and symptom improvement
This case gives a clear, surgical perspective on BPH emergencies and how TURP restores normal bladder emptying and quality of life.
Perfect for medical students, interns, surgical residents, and anyone who wants clean, concise, clinically useful explanations.
