The incidence of reoperation and mortality after prostatectomy was studied in 8,219 men who underwent surgical treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy between 1976 and 1987 while they were members of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program, Northern California Region. The vast majority (94.5%) received transurethral prostatectomy (TURP). The cumulative 8-year probability of a second prostatectomy was 7.6% after TURP and 2.1% after open prostatectomy. The risk of mortality associated with transurethral prostatectomy relative to open prostatectomy was 1.6 (95% confidence interval 1.2, 2.1) 8 years postsurgery. The increased risk of mortality associated with transurethral prostatectomy was most prominent during the first 5 years postsurgery (relative risk 1.8, 95% confidence interval 1.3, 2.5) and declined to 1.1 (95% confidence interval 0.8, 1.6) for deaths occurring after the first 5 years. The finding of an increased risk of mortality associated with transurethral prostatectomy is consistent with other studies and is unexplained.
