Our objective was to determine the effect of neoadjuvant hormonal therapy on the presence of circulating prostate cells in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. A total of 60 patients at high risk for extraprostatic disease were analyzed for the presence of circulating prostate cells using reverse transcriptase PCR (RTPCR) amplification of the prostate-specific antigen ...

OBJECTIVE To describe early postoperative complications of prostatectomy. DESIGN A descriptive prospective study. SETTING Kenyatta National Hospital between 6th October 2003 and 21st June 2004. SUBJECTS Eighty five men undergoing prostatectomy for the relief of lower urinary tract obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Procedures included suprapubic transvesical prostatectomy, r...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to address long-term survival in a large population-based cohort of men with prostate cancer receiving radical prostatectomy compared to other treatments. METHODS We studied 5,845 patients diagnosed with local/regional stage prostate cancer at age 65-74 in 1992 with comorbidity score <2, who were defined as potential candidates for radical prostatectomy and identif...

The incidence of prostate cancer in Taiwan has increased in recent years, possible because of better detection with screening methods, such as the measurement of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, transrectal ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Most of the cases that are diagnosis early are operable and were, therefore, treated surgically. Historically, open radical prostatect...

BACKGROUND Prostate traction is one way to control post-prostatectomy bleeding. The most popular method involves traction with a catheter fixed to the thigh with adhesive bands. However, this method has its own drawbacks. OBJECTIVES We aimed to simplify this traction procedure and to overcome its disadvantages. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 2007 - 2015, a new method was used to control post-pro...

Several recent studies have suggested that thought leaders in radical prostatectomy have decreased their own positive margin rates by switching from open to robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Theoretically, this improvement is largely attributed to enhanced visualization of the deep pelvis and precision of dissection afforded by the instrumentation. To date, it has not been determined if thi...

Now, we come to offer you the right catalogues of book to open. improving outcomes post radical prostatectomy nerve sparing status and urinary continence commentary is one of the literary work in this world in suitable to be reading material. That's not only this book gives reference, but also it will show you the amazing benefits of reading a book. Developing your countless minds is needed; mo...

PURPOSE The da Vinci robot system has been used to perform complex reconstructive procedures in a minimally invasive fashion. Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy has recently established as one of the standard cares. Based on experience with the robotic prostatectomy, its use is naturally expanding into other urologic surgeries. We examine our practical pattern and application of ...
