bilateral carotid artery atherosclerosis. October 10, chest CT plain scan: nodular lesion in the posterior basal segment of the left lower lobe, inflammatory nodule? Small subpleural nodules in both lungs, follow-up recommended. Small pericardial effusion, aortic atherosclerosis. Treatment course (including surgery and dates) After admission, the patient completed relevant auxiliary examinations. On October 14, transurethral holmium laser prostatectomy was performed under general anesthesia. The operation went smoothly. Postoperatively, the patient received urinary catheter drainage, nutritional support, monitoring, anti-infection treatment, and other supportive care. The patient recovered well and was discharged after review by the attending physician. Pathology diagnosis: pending Discharge diagnosis: 1. Benign prostatic hyperplasia, 2. Urinary retention, 3. Diabetes mellitus Discharge status (including main symptoms and signs): The patient had a normal diet and sleep, no abdominal pain or distension after eating, no cough, and clear urine. Physical examination: vital signs stable, heart and lungs normal. Abdomen without abnormal signs. No redness or stenosis at the urethral meatus. Discharge instructions: 1. Rest adequately, maintain good nutrition, engage in appropriate activity, and drink plenty of water. 2. Keep stools soft and regular; avoid strenuous exercise and cycling for 3 months. 3. Follow-up urinary system ultrasound and PSA regularly. 4. Return to the urology outpatient clinic for follow-up. 5. If difficulty urinating recurs or the urine stream becomes thin, seek medical attention promptly for appropriate management. 6. Bladder function is currently poor; perform clamp training on the catheter for 2 weeks after discharge and then monitor urination. The patient requires follow-up. Follow-up physician: not specified. The patient has pending pathology results (please return to the hospital within one month after discharge to inquire about the pathology report). The above is the discharge summary. After discharge, the patient never regained the ability to urinate. In other words, the surgery did not achieve its intended purpose, and the patient has since relied on an indwelling urinary catheter for bladder drainage.
