Background: Bipolar Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) and monopolar TURP has been widely used for surgical management of bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. The aim of this study is to prove the difference of haemoglobin (Hb), sodium levels (Na⁺), application of urethral catheter traction between two groups.Methods: Prospective cohort study was conducted for 82 patients as eligible sample which divided into two groups, bipolar TURP and Monopolar TURP from September 2018 to August 2019. The patient’s demographics, preoperative, postoperative data, and application of urethral catheter traction were recorded.Results: The result shows basic characteristic data seem comparable. The decline levels of Hb before surgery 14.2(2.6) and after surgery 13.6(2.6) in monopolar group was significant (p=0.01), and also in bipolar group 13.7(2.1) vs 13.4(2.1) was significant (p=0.033), despite decreasing Hb levels between two groups were insignificant (p=0.639) but decline levels of Na between two groups were significant (p=0.013) Na⁺ level in bipolar 0(3) and monopolar 1(4). The application of urethral catheter traction in bipolar (19.5%) lower than monopolar (80.5%) were statistically significant (p<0.001).Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, bipolar TURP surgery can be an optional recommendation in treating Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) in terms of better preserving blood sodium during surgery and low use of traction without significant bleeding complications.

Abstract Background Weight fluctuation (WF) is highly prevalent in parallel with the high prevalence of intentional or unintentional dieting. The health risks of frequent WF for metabolic syndrome (MS) have become a public health concern, especially for health care providers who supervise dieting as an intervention to prevent obesity-related morbidity or to improve health, as well as for the general population for whom dieting is of interest. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effect of WF on the risk of MS in Koreans. Methods This study analyzed secondary data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, a 16-year prospective cohort study, on 8150 individuals using time-dependent Cox regression. Results WF did not increase the risk of MS in either normal-weight or obese subjects. In an analysis of the components of MS, greater WF significantly increased the risk of abdominal obesity (HR = 1.05, 95% CI = 1.02–1.07, p < 0.001) in normal-weight individuals. However, WF did not increase the risk of hyperglycemia, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, elevated blood pressure, or raised fasting glucose in normal-weight individuals, and it did not influence any of the components of MS in obese individuals. Conclusion Since WF was found to be a risk factor for abdominal obesity, which is the most reliable predictor of MS, it should be considered when addressing weight control. Further studies on cut-off points for the degree of weight loss in a certain period need to be conducted to help clinicians provide guidance on appropriate weight control.
