Abstract PDF PubReader ePub: All patients who undergo transurethral prostate surgery exhibit pyuria and microscopic hematuria in postoperative urinalysis. Postoperative asymptomatic pyuria is associated with the inflammatory process and surface remodeling of the prostate, rather than infection. Various studies have investigated the incidence, duration, and risk factors for postoperative pyuria, noting that factors like age, surgery time, and prostate size can influence outcomes. Postoperative pyuria reflects tissue recovery and inflammation, and the use of antibiotics in asymptomatic patients may not be appropriate.
