Volume Cutting to Simulate Transurethral Resection of the Prostate

Interactive Cutting in Voxel-Based Objects. Application to Simulate Transurethral Resection of the Prostate

Simulating cutting processes of human tissue is an important feature in virtual reality systems for medical training and rehearsal. In this paper we present a method to simulate the cutting operation in voxel-based virtual reality objects intended to simulate volume cutting in transurethral resection of the prostate. The method allows the user to directly interact with the three dimensional mod...

Successful Treatment of Obstructive Oligospermia/Azoospermia Due to Mullerian Duct Cyst by Transurethral Resection:A Case Report

a:1:{i:0;s:867:"Cystic lesions in midline of prostate are uncommon and considered as congenital disorders. Here we report a 33- year- old male who presented with either azoospermia or decreased ejaculate volume leading to infertility and for whom performing Transrectal ultrasonography had a critical role in diagnosis. The obtained images revealed a congenital cyst of the prostate gland just in ...

EXPERIENCE WITH BLADDER NECK INCISION TO RELIEVE BLADDER OUTLET OBSTRUCTION VERSUS TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF THE PROSTATE IN SHIRAZ

TUR is cited as the treatment of choice for relief of bladder outflow tract obstruction in the male, but bladder neck incision (BNI) is an acceptable alternative when the gland is smalI.1,2,3 Sixty cases of BNIfTUR have been reviewed (BNI=35, TUR=25) from March, 1986 to April, 1988. BNI was done when the glands were less than 30 gr , and when there was no clinical suspicion of malignancy t...
