ideal irrigant solution
Ideally the irrigation solution should be
isotonic,
non hemolytic,
electrically inert (so that diathermy can be used), non toxic,
transparent,
easy to sterilize and inexpensive
Electrolyte solutions such as normal saline or Ringer Lactate do least harm when absorbed into the circulation.
However they cause dispersion of high frequency current from the resectoscope and hence abandoned.
water as irrigant
Sterile water: Though sterile water has many qualities of an ideal irrigating fluid, the disadvantage is its extreme hypotonicity, causing hemolysis, dilutional hyponatremia, shock and renal failure.
glycine concentration vs serum osmol
The os¬molality of 1.5% glycine is 230 mosm/1 compared to se¬rum osmolality of 290 mosm/l and hence cardiovascular and renal toxicities can occur at this concentration also.
absorption of glycine rate
20ml per minute
or around 1.5l for an average case
The uptake of I litre of fluid within one hour, which corresponds to an acute decrease in the serum sodium concentration of 5-8 mmols/l, is the volume above which the risk of absorption related symptoms is statistically in¬creased
TUR syndrome main components
glycine toxicity neurotransmitters
fluid overload
dilutional hyponatraemia
glycine also acting on ANP release and natriuresis
glycine toxicity myocardium
hyperammonia due to glycine metabolism and encephalopathy
hypertension followed by hypotension, rapid equilibrium of hypotonic fluid with EC fluid compartment
lab findings TUR syndrome
hyponatramiea iso osmolar or mildly hypoosmolar increased osmolar gap hyperglycinaemia hyperammonaemia due to deamination of glycine met acidosis haemodilution

management TUR 9
- Stop operation
- Catheter inflate and pressure
- Check extravasation – retropubic drain
- Send bloods
- Give dose 40mg IV furosemide
- ITU
- Serum sodium restored slowed
- Judicious use of fluid restriction
- Diuretics
- Rarely hypertonic saline
restoration sodium
avoid central pontine demyelination
aim to raise no more than 10-12 per 24 hours or 1 mmol per hour
3% hypertonic saline only indicated neurological manisfestations
do not restor to normal, only to symptom resolving
through central line as sclerosis peripheral veins
bradycardia and hypotension - atropine, adrengeric drugs, IV calcium
anti convulsants seizures
summary TUR answer
Emergency station or BPH station
Definition – absorption of irrigant during the procedure. Causes dilutional hyponatraemia and fluid overload and effects of glycine toxicity.
Manifests as tachycardia or bradycardia, hypotension, headache, confusion, convulsions, cardiac dysrhythmia
How to reduce chances of TUR – minimize resection time especially if capsular perforation/venous bleeding++ (<1hr), reduce height of irrigant to maintain good vision, continuous flow resection.
How to treat – send bloods, keep irrigation to minimum, put catheter on traction, 40mg IV furosemide, ITU monitoring. Serum sodium should be slowly restored with fluid restriction, diuretics and rarely hypertonic saline.

TUMT
TUMT - TransUrethral Microwave Thermotherapy
Microwave energy delivered via catheter with a cooling system designed to protect the urethra. Causes coagulative necrosis and shrinkage of the tissue. Damage to adrenergic nerves also relieves symptoms. Improvement in 55%. Sexual side effects less common than after TURP. Irritative symptoms, period of catheterization and UTI more common than after TURP.
TUNA
TUNA – TransUrethral Needle Ablation of prostate
Low level radiofrequency delivered via a transurethral needle. The resultant heat causes localized necrosis. LA procedure. Provides a modest improvement in symptoms. Risks incl. bleeding, UTI and stricture. Sexual function preserved. ?Long-term benefit.
