Recently, the Department of Urology of Weixian People's Hospital successfully performed transurethral laser gasification resection of the prostate for a 101-year-old patient, which not only solved the problem of long-term indwelling urethral catheter for the elderly, but also greatly improved his quality of life.
It is reported that the elderly patient had difficulty urinating due to prostatic hyperplasia, resulting in long-term indwelling urethral catheter, which seriously affected his daily life and mental health. Despite several attempts at conservative treatment and extubation, the patient is unable to urinate on his own. This dilemma has left patients and their families in dire straits, and there is an urgent need for effective treatment.
After receiving the patient, Si Yinghui, vice president of Wei County People's Hospital and an expert in urology, attached great importance to it and immediately organized a multidisciplinary consultation. After a thorough evaluation, the experts concluded that although the patient was older, his physical condition was acceptable and there were no absolute contraindications to surgery. Based on Si Yinghui's years of experience in the treatment of prostate diseases, experts agree that transurethral laser gasification resection of the prostate is an ideal choice to solve the patient's difficulty in urinating.
With thorough preparation and careful planning, the surgery was successfully carried out recently. During the operation, with the full cooperation of the Department of Anesthesiology, Si Yinghui and his team successfully removed the hypertrophic prostate tissue for the patient with superb skills and tacit cooperation. The whole procedure went smoothly and the patient's vital signs were stable. After the operation, the patient returned to the ward and recovered well.
The success of this operation not only demonstrates the superb skills and rich clinical experience of the urology team of Weixian People's Hospital, but also reflects the advantages of multidisciplinary collaboration of the hospital, and at the same time, it also provides valuable treatment experience and confidence for more elderly patients.
