OBJECTIVE To describe the prostatic arterial supply using Cone-beam computed tomography (CT) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) before prostatic arterial embolization (PAE) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS In a retrospective study from January 2012 to January 2014, 55 male patients (110 hemipelves) with BPH who underwent PAE were evaluated by Cone-beam CT in addition to ...

Urodynamic investigation becomes increasingly important in the diagnosis of bladder outflow obstruction in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. To date, different methods for evaluation of the pressure-flow relationship and quantification of the grade of obstruction are available. Models for pressure-flow analysis are briefly explained. The variability of the parameters is investigated b...

thirty cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia and 30 cases of prostatic adenocarcinoma were selected and stained by agnor (argyrophilic staining of the nucleolar organizer region) method. specimens were obtained by either prostatectomy (open!tijr) or needle biopsy of the prostate. in this study, the sections of prostatic adenocarcinoma were reviewed. 6 cases were diagnosed as well-differentiated...

Prostate cancer is the most common solid tumor malignancy worldwide with an estimated 180,000 new cases of prostate cancer and 26,000 deaths in the USA in 2016. Although significant advances in the treatment of prostate cancer have recently been made, the treatment of metastatic disease remains a challenge. With visceral metastases marking more advanced tumor stages, liver involvement is associ...

INTRODUCTION Open prostatectomy is the conventional surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The major early complication of this procedure is bleeding. We introduce a technique of prostatectomy in order to prevent significant bleeding, reduce morbidity, and shorten convalescence and hospital stay periods. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled 202 consecutive patients diagnosed with be...
