Keywords: Benign prostatic hyperplasia, transurethral resection of the prostate, TURP, treatment outcomes

This study aims to evaluate the treatment outcomes for benign pro-

static hyperplasia (BPH) using transurethral resection of the prostate

(TURP) at Hue Cetral Hospital in 2024. A cross- sectional descriptive

study was conducted on patients diagnosed with BPH who underwent

TURP. Clinical characteristics, intraoperative findings, and postopera-

tive outcomes were analyzed. Key parameters included preoperative In-

ternational Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life (QoL) scores,

uroflowmetry, and surgical complications classified by the Clavien-Dindo

system. Most patients showed significant improvement in urinary symp-

toms and quality of life postoperatively. The majority had reduced IPSS

scores, increased maximum urinary flow rates (Qmax), and improved

QoL scores. Postoperative complications were minimal, with no life-

threatening events recorded.
