[Analysis of predictive factors of success for prostate photovaporization in benign prostatic hyperplasia by greenlight laser].

Cost-effectiveness analysis at 2 years of surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia by photoselective vaporization of the prostate with GreenLight-Photo vaporization 120 W versus transurethral resection of the prostate.

INTRODUCTION Transurethral resection of the prostate is the gold standard of surgical treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms associated to benign prostate hyperplasia. The new Green Light Photovaporization has been shown to be an alternative that is as effective for this condition as the transurethral resection of the prostate. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficiency of Green Light Photovapor...

DIFFEREN TIATION BETWEEN PROSTATIC\' C A RCINOMA A ND BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA BY AgNOR STAINING

Thirty cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia and 30 cases of prostatic adenocarcinoma were selected and stained by AgNOR (argyrophilic staining of the nucleolar organizer region) method. Specimens were obtained by either prostatectomy (open!TIJR) or needle biopsy of the prostate. In this study, the sections of prostatic adenocarcinoma were reviewed. 6 cases were diagnosed as well-differen...

THE INCI DENC E OF PROS TATIC INTRAEPI THELIAL NEOPLASIA IN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA AND PROS TATIC C ARCINOMA

Prostatic intra-epithelial neoplasia (PIN) is considered a precursor of invasive carcinoma, characterized by proliferation and anaplasia of cells lining prostatic ducts and acini. In this study, we applied the PIN grading system on one-hundred cases of prostatic carcinoma and one-hundred cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia, then compared the results. 74% of prostatic carcinoma and 51 % of...

Risk Factors for Failure of Early Catheter Removal After Greenlight HPS Laser Photoselective Vaporization Prostatectomy in Men With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

PURPOSE To assess the risk factors for developing urinary retention after removal of the urethral catheter on postoperative day 1 in benign prostatic hyperplasia patients who underwent Greenlight HPS laser photoselective vaporization prostatectomy (PVP). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 427 men who underwent Greenlight HPS laser PVP between 2009 and 2012, excluding patients in whom a ...
