Indications & Uses

Glycine is the irrigating fluid of choice for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), endoscopic procedures within the urinary tract, and urinary bladder surgery.

Pharmacology

Glycine irrigation solution contains glycine, an amino acid that acts as a non-electrolyte. Because it does not conduct electricity, it is well suited for use as an irrigation fluid. Using this solution also lowers the risk of intravascular haemolysis, a complication that can arise when plain water is absorbed during irrigation. Once absorbed, glycine is broken down quickly in the liver by the enzyme glycine oxidase.

Dosage Reference

Reference Information Only

Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.

Adults:

The total volume of solution used for irrigation is determined by the judgment of the attending surgeon. Positioning the solution at a height of 60 cm (approximately 2 feet) above the operating table is likely to increase intravascular absorption of glycine.

Side Effects

Large intravenous doses of Sterisol are known to cause nausea and salivation. Other effects of systemic absorption of Sterisol include electrolyte loss, diuresis, oedema, thirst, dehydration, and cardiovascular and pulmonary disorders.

Cautions & Contraindications
