Background: Clinical investigations have reported several anesthetic properties of intrathecal injections of meperidine. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of adding meperidine to intrathecal heavy lidocaine on hemodynamic changes and blood loss in patients undergoing elective suprapubic open prostatectomy. Methods: In a randomized double-blind clinical trial, 77 pa...

Background Patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for localised prostate cancer generally have good long-term survival rates. However, late recurrences can occur and require lifelong follow-up. Objective This research aims to investigate different stakeholders' perceptions on the use of mobile health (mHealth) applications follow-up after prostatectomy. Methods A cross-sectional qualitative ...

Introduction: Prostate carcinoma is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer among men, accounting for 14.1% of diagnoses and with a 6.8% mortality rate. Among current treatment options, radical prostatectomy strongly indicated localized prostate cancer. Although surgical techniques are constantly being improved in terms effectiveness safety, postoperative disorders such as stress urinary inco...

Annotation. The article presents a review of the literature on evolution hemostasis methods during open transbladder prostatectomy in patients with benign hyperplasia. improvement has gone from suturing prostate lodge, bladder neck and capsule to partial lodge installation Foley catheter for purpose mechanical compression lodge. Ukrainian urologists, including those Vinnytsia, are highlighted. ...

BACKGROUND Quality of life after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy has been a discussed issue among patients. Nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy has been shown to be superior to non-nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy in terms of potency and continence. The authors have reported their experience of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and now developed our technique of nerve-sparing laparoscopi...

This timely paper reviews the current status and respective roles of laparoscopic, robotically-assisted and open radical prostatectomy in the management of localized prostate cancer. While open radical prostatectomy remains the gold standard of treatment, a minimally-invasive approach has been available since 1997 in the form of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Minimally-invasive approaches ...

Background . Urine leakage from urethrovesical anastomosis (UVA) is a frequent and significant complication after prostatectomy. Aim To determine frequency urine the prostatectomy, evaluate diagnostic methods, develop classification management guidelines for patients with this complication. Materials methods A retrospective analysis of 1426 who underwent prostatectomy was performed. Results. In...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate preoperative predictors of positive surgical margins and their location in Korean men undergoing radical prostatectomy. METHODS A total of 3227 patients who had undergone radical prostatectomy (open, robotic or laparoscopic) for clinically localized prostate cancer at three centers between 2000 and 2010 were analyzed. Patients were stratified by using the D'Amico risk cr...

PURPOSE Men with apparently localized prostate cancer often relapse years after radical prostatectomy. We sought to determine if epithelial-like cells identified from bone marrow in patients after radical prostatectomy, commonly called disseminated tumor cells (DTC), were associated with biochemical recurrence. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We obtained bone marrow aspirates from 569 men prior to radica...
