Background. We analyzed radical TUR-PCa against localized prostate cancer. Patients and Methods. Seventy-nine out of 209 patients with prostate cancer in one lobe were studied. Patients' age ranged from 58 to 91 years and preoperative PSA, 0.70 to 17.30 ng/mL. In other 16 additional patients we performed focal TUR-PCa. Patients' age ranged from 51 to 87 years and preoperative PSA, 1.51 to 25.74...

Transurethral resection (TUR) is the essential surgical procedure used to diagnose, stage and treat nonmuscle-invasive (NMIBC) bladder tumours. TUR of bladder tumours is a diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic operation. TUR aims to provide adequate specimen material to determine the histological type and grade of bladder tumours, to determine the presence and depth of tumour invasion, and to ...

INTRODUCTION Transurethral resection of the prostate is one of the most frequent urological procedures. Urinary tract infections represent major sequelae, but data about antibiotic prophylaxis in TUR-P are controversial and outdated. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective multicentre study of TUR-P in ten German hospitals. Primary endpoints were epidemiological and outcome data of ...

Visual disturbances during transurethral resection (TUR) of the prostate are described and possible causes of this phenomenon are discussed. Awareness of this unusual manifestation of the TUR reaction may offer the first clue to excessive systemic absorption of irrigation fluid.

In order to evaluate the significance of repeat transurethral resection (TUR) in differentiating stage A1 prostatic adenocarcinoma from those with stage A2, we performed repeat TUR in 34 patients with an initial diagnosis of stage A1 prostatic adenocarcinoma. It was found that residual adenocarcinoma was present in five cases (14.7%), but the diagnosis was changed from stage A1 to stage A2 in o...

BACKGROUND We investigated the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of the intravesical administration of 2000 mg gemcitabine once a week in the four weeks before transurethral resection of superficial bladder cancer (TUR), and in the four successive weeks. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine patients with superficial transitional cell bladder carcinoma were studied. Two thousand mg of gemcitabine di...

BACKGROUND Instillation of chemotherapy after transurethral resection (TUR) has been considered as an optimal treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). However, controversy remains regarding the role of chemotherapy instillation. We therefore evaluated the usefulness of continuous saline bladder irrigation (CSBI) after TUR. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with intermediate risk ...

The Drosophila mutant turnip (tur) was isolated on the basis of its poor performance in an olfactory learning task, and also has a reduction in protein kinase C (PKC) activity. PKC has been found in the nervous systems of a wide range of organisms and appears to have an important role in learning and memory-related processes. Unfortunately, previous reports documenting the learning defect of tu...
