Small cell carcinoma(SCC) of prostate is a rarely seen agressive tumor. Generally, SCC of the prostate is symptomatic at diagnosis unlikely adenocarcinoma. In our study, 81 year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with obstructive symptoms and dysuria. Transurethral resection of prostate was performed for the patient due to the obstructive symptoms. The pathology result was; small cell ...

Background: To compare the efficacy and safety of transurethral PlasmaKinetic enucleation of prostate (PKEP) versus transurethral PlasmaKinetic resection of prostate (PKRP) for benign prostate hyperplasia. Methods: The Prospective and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) pertaining to PKEP and PKRP for benign prostate hyperplasia were retrieved from PubMed, Wanfang and so on. The level of trials...

BACKGROUND Shivering is a frequent event during the perioperative period. We performed a prospective, randomized, double-blind study to determine whether intrathecal meperidine (0.2 mg/kg) decreases the incidence and intensity of shivering after spinal anesthesia for transurethral operations. METHODS Fifty patients scheduled for elective transurethral resection operations under spinal anesthe...

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 ...

Objective: We compared the clinical and urodynamic outcome of men with lower urinary tract symptoms with and without previous urodynamic evaluation submitted to transurethral resection of the prostate. Materials and Methods: A prospective and randomized study was performed in 315 patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate. In 151 patients (group A) with a mean age of 63 year...

Primary squamous cell carcinoma is an uncommon tumor of the prostate gland. We report a 77-year-old male patient with urinary frequency and constipation. Fine needle biopsy from prostate was suspicious of squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate. Whole body positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan revealed high fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in prostate gland. Transurethral resection con...

The concentrations of moxalactam in human prostatic tissue, obtained by enucleation or transurethral resection, were measured in 10 patients after the intramuscular administration of two 500-mg doses. The average concentrations of moxalactam in prostatic tissue in the enucleated and transurethral resection specimens were 4.0 micrograms/g and 5.2 micrograms/ml, and the ratios of the moxalactam c...
