Abstract: Background: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome remains an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication of monopolar TURP using hypotonic irrigation. Objective: To determine the incidence of TURP syndrome and evaluate its association with the volume of 1.5% glycine used during surgery. Methods: This prospective observational study included 384 men older than 50 years undergoing monopolar TURP for benign prostatic hyperplasia at a tertiary-care teaching hospital. Demographic, operative, biochemical and clinical variables were recorded. Associations were analysed using chi-square or Fisher exact tests, paired tests and Mann-Whitney U tests, with p30 L. Conclusion: Higher glycine use, prolonged surgery, larger glands, greater tissue resection and marked postoperative sodium decline identified patients at increased risk.
