  Introduction: Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate as a gold standard treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia is performed with fluid irrigation that may cause electrolyte disturbance due to excessive fluid absorption; and may lead to electrolyte imbalance crises. It can cause hemolysis and changes in hematocrit value. Here in this study we primarily focused on electrolytic disturbances only. Different types of irrigation fluid are used for Trans-Urethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) procedure worldwide. In our institute we used sterile water as an irrigation fluid. The advantage of using sterile water are-Easily available, cheap, electrically inert, nontoxic, transparent, and easy to sterile and disadvantage is it is hypotonic. Ideal irrigation fluid should be isotonic, nonhemolytic, electrically inert, nontoxic, transparent and easy to sterile and should be i.. View More»
