Trans urethral resection of prostate (TURP) is the most frequently performed surgical treatment for patients diagnosed with benign prostate hyperplasia. This retrospective observational study was design to evaluate the occurrence and the characteristics of incidental prostate cancer (IPC), in patients underwent TURP for clinically benign disease. In histopathology of TURP specimens 14.9% showed...

B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) is a common lymphoproliferative disorder with an increased risk of developing subsequent neoplasms of epithelial and mesenchymal origin. The decreased immunity and B-cell dysfunction in CLL probably accounts for this emergence of second malignancies. We report a case of synchronous bladder transitional cell carcinoma (TCC)...

BACKGROUND To compare transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy of the prostate and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for detection of prostate cancer (PCa) in patients with moderate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) by retrospective chart review. METHODS Between January 2004 and December 2008, a total of 520 patients, aged 50.3-81.5 years, with moderate LUTS (International P...

Hypothesis / aims of study Despite the development of new minimally invasive methods, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains the gold standard surgical treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) related to BPH, with more than 90% of the patients reporting normal or improved voiding, after 10-year follow-up period. The recommended technique of TURP consists of complete rem...

We present the case of an 81-year-old patient with testicular metastasis from prostate carcinoma. After the initial diagnosis of prostate cancer, he had an 8-year course of hormonal therapy and showed no clinical evidence of metastasis to other organs. Asymptomatic metastasis of prostate carcinoma to the testis is a rare clinical condition. We diagnosed his condition, based on histopathology fo...

CASE REPORT A 57-year-old man presented with obstructive urinary symptoms for 6 months. Physical examination did not reveal any abnormality except for the slightly enlarged prostate. Prostate volume was estimated to be 55 mL, and serum level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was 5.4 ng/mL. Eight-quadrant transrectal biopsy revealed no malignancy. Transurethral prostate resection was done and p...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness and risk profile of minimally invasive interventions against the current standard of transurethral resection of the prostate. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. DATA SOURCES Electronic and paper records up to March 2006. REVIEW METHODS We searched for all relevant randomised controlled trials. Two reviewers in...

We report a case of unusual presentation of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) syndrome. A 58-year-old male patient with grade III benign hypertrophic hyperplasia was scheduled for TURP under spinal anesthesia. At 120 min of surgery, the patient presented with atypical symptoms of tightness in the chest with difficulty in breathing. The electrolyte analysis revealed an acute hyponatremi...
