EVALUATION OF THE EFFICACY 5-FLUOROURACIL ON ERECTILE FUNCTION IN PATIENTS UNDER SURGICAL TREATMENT OF BENIGN PROSTATE HYPERPLASIA
Introduction. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is 5.2-40%. Urethral strictures as a complication of transurethral resection of the prostate is a risk factor for the development of postoperative erectile dysfunction.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the prophylactic use of 5-fluorouracil in relation to erectile dysfunction in patients undergoing surgery for BPH.
Materials and methods. The study included 246 patients who underwent surgery, with an average age of 70.0±8.0 years. The main group included 124 patients who, in addition to the standard postoperative treatment in the hospital, received prophylactic intervention after surgery in the form of washing with a solution of 5-fluorouracil using a modified three-way catheter. The control group consisted of 122 combined patients who underwent surgery for BPH and received standard postoperative treatment. To assess erectile dysfunction, the IIEF-5 questionnaire was used 3 and 6 months after surgery. All statistical analysis procedures were performed using the SPSS 20 program. For qualitative data, the significance of differences in groups was determined by calculating the Chi-square (χ2) test. For quantitative data, the result was expressed as the median and 25-75 percentiles. Calculations of the significance of differences were made using the Mann-Whitney test.
Results. A statistically significant improvement in the erectile function of patients in both the main and control groups was established after surgery for 6 months (χ2 = 115.356; p < 0.001; χ2 = 115.034; p < 0.001, respectively). At the same time, in the main study group, the indicators had statistically significant differences with the control group. A twofold decrease in subjective symptoms of erectile dysfunction was shown in all patients, however, in the main study group, changes in these indicators were statistically significantly more pronounced (p=0.014 after 3 months; p=0.007 after six months).
Conclusion. The high efficiency of the prophylactic use of 5-fluorouracil by irrigation of the bladder and urethra in relation to the erectile function of patients who underwent surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia was established.
