- <p>Introduction :Benign prostatic hypertrophy is a major problem that is often the<br>cause of urinary problems in men over 50, and cancause severe complications<br>such as urinary retention or kidney failure. The objective was to determine the<br>clinical, therapeutic, evolutionary profile and the nursing care provided to those<br>undergoing surgery for benign prostatic hypertrophy to contribute to improving<br>the nursing care of those undergoing surgery for this problem at the PANZI<br>General Reference Hospital.<br>Methods: This was a descriptive study with retrospective collection which was<br>carried out at the Panzi General Reference Hospital. It covered the period from<br>2021 to 2025, i.e. almost five years. This is an exhaustive sampling study<br>which examined 80 patients operated on for benign prostatic hypertrophy, the<br>data was processed by Epi Info software.<br>Results: after the analyzes only 80 patients were operated on for BPH; the<br>average age was 67.5 ± 9.8 years, with a predominance of subjects aged over<br>60 years (72.5%). The most common clinical signswere acute retention of urine<br>(31.2%) and dysuria (25%), Prostate specific antigen (PSA) assay,<br>cytobacteriological examination of urine (ECBU) and prostate ultrasound were<br>the most performed examinations (100%). Nursing care focused on placement<br>and monitoring of the bladder catheter, bladder flushing, monitoring of vital<br>signs and infection prevention (100%). Hematuria (10%) and urinary infection<br>(8.7%) were the most frequent postoperative complications. The outcome was<br>favorable in 92.5% of cases, with patients well recovered and satisfied with the<br>care received.<br>Conclusion: Benign prostatic hypertrophy remains a growing public health<br>problem with the aging of the male population. Multidisciplinary care,<br>combining early diagnosis, appropriate treatment and quality nursing care,<br>remains the key to improving the prognosis and quality oflife of patients<br>operated on in Panzi and in similar contexts.</p>
