OBJECTIVE: To compare the different aspects of the postoperative outcomes in diabetics and nondiabetics of transurethral prostatectomy in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. METHODS: From December 2000 to December 2003, a total of 138 men with BPH, who were candidates for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), were selected for this study, of these 20 were diabetics. The International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) and the erectile function were assessed preoperatively and during an average follow-up period of 63 months postoperatively. Comorbid conditions and all surgical complications during the follow-up were recorded. RESULTS: No significant differences were detected between the baseline IPSS and the prostate volume in diabetic and nondiabetic patients. Both groups showed significant reductions in IPSS, and greater reductions were detected in nondiabetic patients 6 months after their operations that were not statistically significant (23.5 +/- 8.0 versus 20.9 +/- 7.6 respectively, p = 0.169). There were no significant differences in the perioperative complications. The incidence of a second TURP was higher in diabetics (25% vs. 7.8%, p = 0.033). Although not statistically significant, a higher incidence of postoperative erectile dysfunction (ED) in diabetic patients (37.5% vs. 11.5%, p = 0.073) was observed. CONCLUSION: TURP is a beneficial and safe procedure in diabetic patients with BPH and is not associated with a higher incidence of perioperative or postoperative complications except for the possible postoperative ED and the retreatment rate that seems to be higher.
