To evaluate the efficacy and safety of plasmakinetic resection of the prostate (PKRP) versus transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was carried out. We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library. The pooled estimates of maximum flow rate, Internatio...

We aim to reassess the safety of the monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (M-TURP) without suprapubic cystostomy at our institution over the past decade. This retrospective study was conducted in patients who underwent M-TURP at Peking University First Hospital between 2003 and 2013. A total of 1680 patients who had undergone M-TURP were identified, including 539 patients in the no...

OBJECTIVE Conventional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) uses a monopolar electrocautery system in which the current passes from the active electrode through the patient's body towards the return plate and may cause distant negative effects. In this study a new developed resection device, the Vista system, using a bipolar electrocautery system and 0.9% sodium chloride solution for ...

BACKGROUND Dexmedetomidine (DMT), a highly selective α2-adrenoceptor agonist, has been used safely as a sedative in patients under regional anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the 50% effective dose (ED50) of single-dose DMT to induce adequate light sedation in elderly patients in comparison with younger patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with ...

Thirty-six patients who presented for transurethral prostatic resection were allocated randomly to one of two groups. Patients in group A were given methoxamine 10 mg i.m., 15 min before spinal anaesthesia. Patients in group B acted as a control group. All patients received spinal anaesthesia. Preoperative administration of methoxamine 10 mg i.m. decreased blood loss significantly and improved ...

A patient who was troubled by the persistent passage of prostatic calculi following transurethral prostatectomy is reported. The pathogenesis of these calculi is postulated.

CONTEXT Compared with white light imaging (WLI) cystoscopy, narrow band imaging (NBI) cystoscopy could increase the visualization and detection of bladder cancer (BC) at the time of transurethral resection (TUR). NBI cystoscopy could increase the detection of BC, but it remains unclear whether narrow band imaging-assisted transurethral resection (NBI-TUR) could reduce the recurrence risk of non...

According to current guidelines, the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia is main therapeutic option, being refractory conservative approach. Transurethral resection prostate and open transvesical adenomectomy have been considered a reference standard in medium (<80ml) large (> 80ml) hyperplasia. To reduce postoperative complications promote faster recovery, there proposed s...
