| dc.description.abstract | This study will evaluate the role of uroflowmetry in the
diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and lower urinary
tract symptoms (LUTS). The study will also assess the outcome of
the different surgical therapies for patients with benign prostatic
hyperplasia by uroflowmetric values.
This is a cross-sectional study of patients attending Kenyatta
National Hospital's surgical outpatient clinics with lower urinary
tract symptoms (LUTS) suggestive of bladder outlet obstruction
(BOO).
The BOO is, in majority of cases, by an enlarged prostate. (1)
All patients recruited shall undergo uroflowmetric assessment to
determine objectively the cause of obstruction. Subsequent
uroflowmetric measurements shall be carried out after the treatment
given to the patients at 3,and 6 months respectively.
The flow rates and symptom scores will be compared and
analysed in all the surgical patients. The data will then be computed
to assess the outcome of each of the surgical methods (Open
prostatectomy vs TURP). | en_US |
