OBJECTIVE: To analyse long-term rates of reoperation, myocardial infarction and mortality after transurethral (TURP) and open prostatectomy (open PE) in a nation-wide analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients who underwent TURP (n=20,671) or open PE (n=2452) in Austria between 1992 and 1996 entered this study and were followed for up to 8 years. Actuarial cumulative incidences of reoperation (TURP, urethrotomy, bladder neck incision), myocardial infarction and death after 1, 5 and 8 years were calculated. Data were provided by the Austrian Health Institute (OBIG). RESULTS: Actuarial cumulative incidences of a secondary TURP after primary TURP at 1, 5 and 8 years were 2.9%, 5.8% and 7.4%; the respective numbers after open PE 1.0%, 2.7% and 3.4%. The overall incidence of a secondary endourological procedure (TURP, urethrotomy, bladder neck incision) within 8 years was 14.7% after TURP and 9.5% after open PE. The 8 years incidence of myocardial infarction was identical after TURP (4.8%) and open PE (4.9%). In parallel, mortality rates at 90 days (TURP: 0.7%; open PE: 0.9%), one year (2.8% vs. 2.7%), 5 years (12.7% vs. 11.8%) and 8 years (20% vs. 20.9%) was identical after TURP and open PE. CONCLUSIONS: This large-scale, contemporary, nation-wide analysis confirms the higher reoperation rate after TURP compared to open PE. We observed no excess risk of myocardial infarction or death after TURP compared to open PE.
