Sterile water give better visualization than 0.9%NaCl and 1.5% Glycine irrigation in Transurethral resection of prostate gland

The U-1000 Spectophotometer, the light transmissionAbstract
Objective: To compare light absorption among sterile water, 0.9%NaCl ,and 1.5% Glycine contraminated with different concentration of blood.
Material and Method: The three irrigants were mixed with fresh blood in ratios of 0.1 ml blood per 300 ml irrigant and increased in increments of 0.1 ml of fresh blood till it reached concentration of 3.0 ml fresh blood per 300 ml irrigant. Each specimen was measured for light absorption by U-1000 Spectophotometer in % light absorbance measurement (%ABS) mode. The results were compared by Paired T-test.
Results: Experimental research and Independent paired T-test. Showed that Sterile water had significantly less % absorbance measurement than 0.9% NaCl ( p-value < 0.05) and 1.5% Glycine (p-value < 0.05).
Conclusion: SterilewaterirrigationduringTUR-Pshouldprovidebettervisualizationthan0.9%NaCl and 1.5% Glycine, and should be used in monopolar TUR and laser TUR.
