Background: Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is a clinical condition that characterized by impediment to the flow of urine. It affects all age groups with varying etiologies. The pattern this in our setting unknown. This study aimed at determines clinico-epidemiological BOO southwestern Nigeria. Method: We retrospectively reviewed case files patients were managed for over period 10years center....

OBJECTIVE To assess whether the alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists currently available for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) suggestive of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) (alfuzosin, terazosin, doxazosin and tamsulosin) can be distinguished with regard to clinical efficacy and/or tolerability. METHODS Up-to-date analysis of clinical placebo-controlled or direct comparative ...

The effects of human primary prostatic stromal cells on the migration and morphogenesis of human prostatic epithelial cells, derived from tumor or benign prostatic hyperplasia tissue, were studied using a three-dimensional coculture system. Epithelial cells from tumor or benign tissue migrated efficiently into collagen gels populated with stromal cells from benign tissue. Only epithelial cells ...

INTRODUCTION Only few reports are known about the use of robotic surgery for prostate benign enlargement. The robotic surgery can be improved by laparoscopic tricks. We show a video of robotic adenomectomy where a laparoscopic dissector is used to help create the plan between prostatic capsule and adenoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 62 years old male had severe urinary flow outlet obstruction. M...

Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) affects an estimated 60% of men over the age of 50 and 90% of men over the age of 80. The prostatic urethral lift (PUL) is a safe and effective office-based procedure that is used worldwide for the treatment of BPH in men who are dissatisfied with medications due to side effects or lack of efficacy or don't want to have a transurethral resection of the prostat...
