INTRODUCTION Stress urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer organ-confined patients can significantly affect quality of life. The article presents a technique of bladder neck preservation, because it is believed that this point is one of many crucial points responsible for fast recovery of continence after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP). MATERIAL AND MET...

The objective of this paper was to assess the effectiveness of visual laser ablation of the prostate (VLAP) using a bare fiber with simultaneous laser incision of the bladder neck for patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia. Sixty-seven patients with symptomatic bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia were entered into a prospective trial where VLAP was don...

Perhaps due to this perceived inevitability, men were warned of the risk of dry orgasms, and were expected to live with it (‘at least you won’t have to sleep on the wet patch’). Bladder neck incision has been accepted to have a much lower incidence of ejaculatory dysfunction, raising the paradox that one operation (bladder neck incision) had a lower rate of retrograde ejaculation than one that ...

Urinary incontinence postradical prostatectomy is a common problem which adversely affects quality of life. Concomitant bladder neck contracture in the setting of postprostatectomy incontinence represents a challenging clinical problem. Postprostatectomy bladder neck contracture is frequently recurrent and makes surgical management of incontinence difficult. The aetiology of bladder neck contra...

Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of large prostate volume on surgical, oncological and functional outcomes in cancer patients who underwent Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Material Methods: RARP due by a single surgeon were divided into two groups as over 75 cc (Group-1) less than (Group-2), these compared retrospectively. Patients followed up for 12 months...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to describe the surgical clip-related complications that can occur after open retropubic prostatectomy (RRP), pure laparoscopic prostatectomy (LRP), and robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). MATERIALS AND METHODS A database of 641 patients who underwent RRP (n=439), LRP (n=49), and RALP (n=153) at our institution between January 2006 and A...

INTRODUCTION Bladder neck contracture is a well-known complication following some urologic surgical procedures. Regardless of the surgical procedure, any specimen resected should be submitted for histopathological evaluation worldwide. However, the charges of histopathological evaluation may bring a heavy burden to the hospital and health care system. Also, waiting the period of the pathologica...
