THE IMPORTANCE OF VARIOUS TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA IN ASSESSING THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF PATIENTS

148 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were examined, 76 of them (group 1) – with open prostatectomy (OP) and 72 (group 2) – after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), additionally the groups were divided depending on the presence of cystostomy before surgery. The quality of life associated with urination during 12 months and 4 years after surgery, as well as the overall quality of life were assessed by filling out the SF-36 questionnaire in two groups. When assessing the quality of life associated with urination, only the presence of pains during urination in the period of 12 months after TURP depends reliably on the method of surgery. Frequent urination, nocturia and urine leakage were more common during cystostomy before surgery, regardless of the method of surgery. The physical component of health is significantly higher in patients 4 years after TURP, regardless of the setting of cystostomy. The psychological component of health is higher in patients after OP, and at the expense of subgroups who did not undergo cystostomy before surgery.
