    Incidence of intraoperative hypothermia (IPH) in transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) patients ranges from 50% to 90%, varying by region and management strategies.

  • 2

    Risk factors for IPH include extensive irrigation during surgery, patient anxiety, older age, and underlying health conditions.

  • 3

    IPH can lead to complications such as surgical site infections, delayed wound healing, and increased healthcare costs.

  • 4

    The systematic review aimed to determine IPH prevalence in TURP patients and identify associated risk factors through pooled data analysis.

  • 5

    Ten studies met inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis, with most conducted in China, indicating a need for further research on IPH in TURP patients.
