What effect would a TURP, (transurethral revection of prostate) either previous to or after seed implantation have on treatment?
In patients with a large TURP defect, it is technically challenging to perform a good implant. In our experience TURP patients who received an implant at Thomas Jefferson University have not experienced an increased risk of urinary incontinence. TURP after the implant also imparts a risk of incontinence. Therefore, we try to avoid doing a TURP in implant patients. When a TURP is necessary after implant, someone who understands the problems associated with it should perform the procedure.
