The Effect of Body Mass Index On The Outcomes of Open Simple Prostatectomy

Simple prostatectomy remains the gold standard treatment for patients with severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and patients with enlarged prostate. Obesity, defined as a body mass index over 30kg/m2 by the World Health Organization (WHO), is associated with some perioperative complications. This study aims to investigate the effects of obesity on the outcomes of open simple prostatectomy. The study includes 72 patients that underwent open simple prostatectomy. We compared the treatment outcomes of 49 patients with a body mass index (BMI)30kg/m2. We compared t he two groups in terms of change in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), change in uroflowmetry maximum flow rate (Qmax), operation time, intraoperative blood loss, transfusion requirements. The median of change in IPSS scores was 16(11-30) for the group where BMI30kg/m2. This difference was not statistically significant (p=0.383). The mean duration of operation was 90.61±17.45 minutes for patients with BMI30kg/m2. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p
