Influence of alcoholism on morbidity after transurethral prostatectomy

Tonnesen, H. LU ; Schutten, B. T. ; Tollund, L. ; Hasselqvist, P. and Klintorp, S. (1988) In Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology 22(3). p.175-177
Abstract

Morbidity after transurethral resection of the prostate gland was retrospectively investigated by comparing 73 alcoholics with 73 controls (daily alcohol consumption ≥60 g vs. <25 g). The compared groups derived from 1172 patients and were matched for diagnosis, age, weight, smoking habits, treatment for cardiovascular, pulmonary or endocrine diseases, anaesthesia and weight of resected tissue. The postoperative morbidity was significantly higher in the alcohol group than in the controls (62% vs. 20%). Follow-up at 1, 3 and 12 months revealed significantly more complications among the alcoholics and also more frequent requirement of supplementary procedures than in the controls.
