BACKGROUND Few studies have focused on clinical findings in prostate cancer patients receiving transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for acute urinary retention (AUR). We compared the clinical findings (preoperative characteristics, operative morbidities, and pathology results) of patients with diagnosed prostate cancer undergoing palliative TURP for AUR with those of patients undergoi...

To the editor: The article by Tan et al. [1] is indeed interesting. This article is one of the rare reports about surgical risk factors associated with urethral stricture (US) occurrence after bipolar transurethral resection of prostate (B-TURP) using the Gyrus PlasmaKinetic Tissue Management System (Gyrus ACMI, Southborough, MA, USA). The results seem some interesting and were consistent with ...

PURPOSE To compare bipolar resection with the conventional monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with respect to peri- and postoperative complications and long-term outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with consecutive benign prostatic hyperplasia needing surgery (n=185) from the hospital's waiting list were randomized to TURP using either a bipolar or a monopolar system....

PURPOSE Although transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is considered the standard surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is replacing TURP. We compared TURP with HoLEP with matching for prostate size. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of patients who underwent TURP and HoLEP perfo...

Introduction: Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is a very common urological pathology and occurs in men their fifties. The clinical manifestation manifested by symptoms of the lower urinary tract such as dysuria pollakiuria. Surgical management has been revolutionized advent trans-urethral resection prostate (TURP), which reference treatment.
 Objective: objective this work was to evaluat...

The transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome is a severe vascular hypotension reaction that complicates endoscopic surgery as a result of massive irrigating fluid absorption causing a drop of serum sodium concentration of >15mmol/l inducing severe acute dilution hyponatraemia (HN) of <120mmol/l [1]. Volumetric Overload Shock (VOS) is a condition caused by massive fluid infusions ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE While the power needed to initiate bipolar vaporization is higher than conventional monopolar resection, the energy needed to maintain bipolar vaporization is significantly lower and may result in less thermal tissue injury. This may have implications for hemostasis, scarring, and perioperative morbidity. The objective of this study is to assess histopathologic changes in...

Purpose: We wanted to compare the treatment outcome, safety, efficacy and complications of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), interstitial laser coagulation (ILC), transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) and transurethral ethanol ablation of the prostate (TEAP) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Materials and Methods: In this prospective, randomized study, a tota...

A systematic review of randomized controlled trials and cohort studies was conducted to evaluate data for the effects of minimally invasive procedures for treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) on male sexual function. The studies searched were trials that enrolled men with symptomatic BPH who were treated with laser surgeries, transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT), transu...
