INTRODUCTION Channeling transurethral resection of the prostate is a recognized form of adjunctive treatment in the treatment of patients with prostate cancer. Despite the fact that complications arising from the procedure have been on the decline, rare complications like intestinal obstruction may occur. CASE PRESENTATION This is a case report of a 56 year old man who developed mechanical in...

PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the significance of early detection of transition zone prostate cancer by transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in whom prostate cancer was suspected despite a negative transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) biopsy result. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2006 to January ...

Extra or intraperitoneal bladder explosion is a rare complication of transurethral resection the prostate (TURP) tumor associated with high morbidity. There were just over 25 reports described in literature until 2015. We report case 56-year-old black man, diagnosed prostatic adenocarcinoma and scheduled for tunneling by (TURP). His medical history included diabetes mellitus, hypertension, reti...

BACKGROUND Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is considered the gold standard for male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, TURP may lead to sexual dysfunction and incontinence, and has a long recovery period. Prostatic urethral lift (PUL) is a treatment option that may overcome these limitations. OBJECTIVE To compare PUL to...

BACKGROUND Traditional meta-analyses or systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been used to compare laser surgeries and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostate hyperplasia (BHP), but they cannot provide a hierarchy regarding efficacy and safety of treatment. OBJECTIVE We therefore performed a network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare and create ...

BACKGROUND Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a condition in which the prostate gland becomes enlarged. Some men with enlarged prostate glands may experience symptoms while some may have few symptoms. Symptomatic improvement determines the successful outcome of surgical procedure of TURP for clinical BPH patients. Objectives of this study were to assess the outcome of transurethral resection...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the long-term outcomes of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) immediately after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment for prostate cancer (CaP). METHODS The present retrospective study included 65 CaP patients who underwent HIFU alone and 64 patients who underwent TURP immediately after HIFU. HIFU treatment was carried out using a Sonablate-500 H...

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-prostat...
