Urology Department of Beijing Hospital successfully carried out "transurethral suspension of prostate expansion" for a senior male

The development of the Urology Products technology marks that the treatment of senile benign prostatic hyperplasia in the Department of Urology of Beijing Hospital has entered the era of "ultra-minimally invasive" diagnosis and treatment, so that more senior patients can benefit from it and restore their health.

The 78-year-old Mr. Zhang has long-term dysuria and repeated urinary retention due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. He has been wearing a Foley catheter all the time, and his quality of life has been seriously affected. After the Spring Festival in 2023, the old man came to the Urology Department of Beijing Hospital admiringly, hoping to get rid of the trouble of urinary catheter completely through surgical treatment.

After being admitted to the hospital, the urology team immediately arranged a rigorous and meticulous comprehensive examination and evaluation for him, and found that the Mr Zhang also suffered from hypertrophic obstructive heart disease. This is a very dangerous disease, and there is a risk of sudden death at any time. This means great risks and challenges to the surgery team.

Difficulties ensued. Under normal circumstances, benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery needs to be performed under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia, but after evaluation by the anesthesiologist, he believes that the risk of anesthesia for the old man's current physical condition is too high, and he is not suitable for general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia. But without anesthesia, there would be no surgery, which made the old man and his family anxious. Seeing the expectant eyes of the old man, how to solve the problem? The team felt unprecedented pressure.

"We are the National Geriatrics Center, we must find a solution to the problem!" Considering the specific situation of the old man, under the leadership of Director Liu Ming of the Department of Urology of Beijing Hospital, the surgical team decided to actively apply the newly developed A new Urology products technology

This new technology is to inject "bundle nails" into the prostate through the urethra to pull the hyperplastic tissue to the surroundings, so as to suspend and expand the urethra and restore the patency of the urethra again. Its biggest advantage is that it is more minimally invasive and quicker. Compared with traditional surgery, the operation time is significantly shortened, and the side effects caused by traditional surgery are greatly reduced, so it has less impact on the patient's body. After obtaining the consent of the old man and his family members, the team decided to adopt this technology and try their best to relieve the old man's pain.

The whole operation process was very smooth, the whole process took less than 20 minutes, and the amount of blood loss was very small. After the operation, the old man quickly recovered unobstructed urination, completely got rid of the troubles of dysuria and long-term indwelling catheter, and was discharged from the hospital smoothly to continue his rehabilitation at home.
