Since its first report in the 1870s, control of bleeding after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has remained a concern. Foley's initial report of a urinary catheter involved placement of the balloon into the prostatic fossa following TURP. Removal of prostate tissue with a high-velocity saline stream (Aquablation) is a recently reported alternative to TURP. As Aquablation is heat-...

materials and methods we retrospectively evaluated 150 consecutive transplant recipients at the university of jena 12 months postoperatively for the presence and treatment of luts related to bpo. results the mean age of the patients was 59 years (range 27 - 82 years). by 12 months postoperatively, 91% (n = 137/150) were off dialysis with a functioning kidney graft. two patients died during foll...

PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the urethral stricture (US) rate and identify clinical and surgical risk factors associated with US occurrence after transurethral resection of the prostate using the bipolar Gyrus PlasmaKinetic Tissue Management System (PK-TURP). MATERIALS AND METHODS This was an age-matched case-control study of US occurrence after PK-TURP. Retrospective data were colle...

Introduction : Transurethral enucleation and resection of the prostate (TUERP) may offer a better treatment for benign prostatic enlargement. We compared the perioperative parameters and outcome following bipolar plasmakinetic transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and TUERP. Methods : Data from two independent institutions were reviewed retrospectively. 50 and 45 consecutive patients w...

OBJECTIVE To provide an overview on the current status of the long-term outcomes of instrumental treatment options for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms that are suggestive of bladder outlet obstruction. METHODS Based on MEDLINE database searches, we performed a systematic review of the literature with a focus on peer-reviewed articles about surgical benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH...

We report a case of prostatic abscess in a 22-year-old man with metastatic testicular cancer being treated by BEP (bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin) chemotherapy. This abscess was successfully treated by surgical drainage with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) under the guidance of transrectal ultrasound, allowing the patient to continue be receiving BEP without significant inter...

Objective: To provide an overview on the current status of the long-term outcomes of instrumental treatment options for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms that are suggestive of bladder outlet obstruction. Methods: Based on MEDLINE database searches, we performed a systematic review of the literature with a focus on peer-reviewed articles about surgical benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH...

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases in middle-aged and elderly men. In the present study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of thulium laser resection of the prostate (TMLRP) with either transurethral plasmakinetic resection of the prostate (TUPKP) or transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). A literature search was performed, eventually, 14 stu...

BACKGROUND Transurethral resection of the prostate underwent significant technical improvements during the last decades, with major impact on the incidence of intra and postoperative complications. OBJECTIVES The objective of the study was to analyse the early complications and to predict immediate outcomes of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) in a single tertiary care institute. M...

the patient was a 69 year-old man suffering from benign prostatic hypertrophy (bph), who was candidate for transurethral resection of prostate (turp) surgery with 980nm diode laser. at the end of the operation, the surgical team noticed abdominal distention. so with suspicion to an acute abdominal problem he underwent an exploratory laparotomy. during the surgery it was found that patient had e...
