OBJECTIVE TURis((R)) is an emerging technique that shows the same efficacy of monopolar resection. However, there is currently little available data on the safety of bipolar devices. We assessed outcome and safety of TURis on a large cohort of patients with at least 6 months' follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 2006 and October 2007, 1000 consecutive transurethral resection (TUR),...

background: irritable bowel syndrome (ibs) is a chronic functional bowel disorder that up to 20% of the population is suffering from it. also benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) is a common problem that approximately 90 percent of men may be affected by this condition until the eighth decade of their life. prostatectomy as a surgery and pelvic intervention can cause ibs. methods: it was a case-c...

To explore the new catheter-special pants design and the application for patients with indwelling catheter after transurethral prostate resection, 156 patients after transurethral prostate resection were divided into two groups randomly: experimental group wearing newly designed pants and control group wearing normal pants after transurethral prostate resection; to compare the state of restless...

Transl Androl Urol, 2016;5(S1) tau.amegroups.com Background: To assess the long-term follow-up outcomes of a novel diagnostic and therapeutic procedure for persistent or recurrent hemospermia by transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy. Methods: A total of 269 patients with persistent or recurrent hemospermia in our single clinic were succe...

Our purpose was to determine the feasibility of comprehensive treatment of the canine prostate with photodynamic therapy (PDT) using motexafin lutetium (Lu-Tex) and to evaluate the toxicity and tissue effects associated with this treatment. Twenty-five adult male beagles with normal prostate glands were given an i.v. injection of the second-generation photosensitizer Lu-Tex (2-6 mg/kg). An addi...

Objective: To describe the aetiology and efficacy of the treatment of persistent and recurrent hemospermia as a novel technique of transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy. Methods: The clinical data of 290 patients with persistent and recurrent hemospermia (a course of hemospermia persisting more than 6 months) from multiple medical center of South China were analyzed retrospectively. The age range...

The green light potassium-titanyl-phosphate laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate is the latest modality for treatment of benign prostatic obstruction. Because of effective superficial tissue coagulation, intravascular absorption of fluid is minimal; therefore, development of transurethral resection syndrome is unlikely. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient underg...

Fifty patients with localized prostate cancer, clinical stage T1-T2N0M0 were studied. The therapy started with androgen deprivation therapy for 3 months to reduce the volume of prostate about 35%. High-energy transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) was then performed. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) was performed in radical fashion at least 3 months after TUMT to confirm the...
