a:1:{i:0;s:867:"Cystic lesions in midline of prostate are uncommon and considered as congenital disorders. Here we report a 33- year- old male who presented with either azoospermia or decreased ejaculate volume leading to infertility and for whom performing Transrectal ultrasonography had a critical role in diagnosis. The obtained images revealed a congenital cyst of the prostate gland just in ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of music on anxiety and perceived pain during transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty consecutive men with an elevated serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level and/ or an abnormal digital rectal examination referred for transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy were recruited and allocated to ...

PURPOSE To investigate the incidence, clinical features, pathogenic bacteria, and risk factors associated with acute prostatitis after transrectal prostate biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 923 transrectal ultrasound-guided needle biopsies of the prostate in 878 patients performed at our institution from June 2004 to May 2009. The indications for...

Carcinoma of the prostate gland is the most common neoplasm in men. Its treatment depends on multiple factors among which local staging plays a significant role. The basic method is transrectal ultrasound imaging. This examination enables imaging of the prostate gland and its abnormalities, but it also allows ultrasound-guided biopsies to be conducted. A conventional gray-scale ultrasound exami...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of transperineal template prostate biopsies in men on active surveillance. PATIENTS AND METHODS In all, 101 men on active surveillance for prostate cancer underwent restaging transperineal template prostate biopsies at a single centre. Criteria for active surveillance were ≤75 years, Gleason ≤3+3, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≤15 ng/mL, clinical stage T1-2a a...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to compare the effect of transrectal power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS) and gray scale transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-six patients evaluated with transrectal PDUS and TRUS underwent eight systematic TRUS guided core-needle biopsies, with additional cores from abnormal areas. Histologic diagnoses...

BACKGROUND The aim was to identify preimplant factors affecting postimplant prostate volume and the increase in prostate volume after transperineal interstitial prostate brachytherapy with 125I free seeds. METHODS We reviewed the records of 180 patients who underwent prostate brachytherapy with 125I free seeds for clinical T1/T2 prostate cancer. Eighty-one (45%) of the 180 patients underwent ...

Three experiments were conducted to determine gestational age in the ewe and doe by measuring placentomes with a B-mode ultrasonograph and a 5 MHz transducer. Transrectal measurements were obtained by placing the female over a bale of hay. In Experiment 1, ewes (n = 12) and does (n = 15) were examined by transrectal ultrasonography every week from breeding to parturition to determine the growth...

We report a case of prostatic abscess in a 52 year old male with a history of diabetes mellitus. The abscess was treated successfully with surgical drainage by transurethral unroofing of the cavity of the abscess. The use of transrectal ultrasound is valuable in the diagnosis, treatment and follow up of the abscess, while drainage is usually necessary for the treatment, which can be done by tra...

Transrectal longitudinal ultrasonography was performed in 34 patients with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis. Prostatic stones and cystic lesions were associated with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis in 67.6% and 11.8%, respectively. The annual relapse rates of clinical symptoms were related to the presence of prostatic stones and cystic lesions. Transrectal ultrasonography plays a very import...
