The aim of the present meta-analysis was to compare the benefits of Bacillus Calmetter-Guerin (BCG) and mitomycin C in the treatment of patients with superficial bladder cancer. The present meta-analysis analyzed the benefits of BCG and mitomycin C in the treatment of patients with superficial bladder cancer by comparing progression-free survival (PFS) rates in patients treated with either of t...

a massive purulent discharge from the right prostatic lobe was observed. Prostatic tissue obtained by subsequent transurethral resection appeared mostly nec

Objective: Exploring the clinical efficacy of transurethral plasma enucleation prostate in treatment benign prostatic hyperplasia with underactive bladder detrusor contractility. Methods: Retrospective analysis data 68 patients and muscle contractility treated by our department from July 2021 to 2022. The above all met diagnosis hyperplasia, excluding cancer urethral stricture. Urodynamics show...

ladder cancer is the second most common cancer of the genitourinary tract, accounting for 7% of all new cancer cases in men and 2% of new cancer cases in women.1 Patients typically present with hematuria, which may be gross or microscopic, and can have symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, or dysuria.1 Pathologic stage T1 tumors are treated with complete transurethral resection and often with...

Purpose. To present our experience of prostate abscess management by modified transurethral resection (TUR) technique. Methods. Seventeen men with prostate abscess undergoing TUR between 2003 and 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. Details of demography, surgical procedures, complications, and followup were noted. Results. With a mean age of 61.53 ± 8.58 years, all patients had multifocal absce...

INTRODUCTION Transurethral resection (TUR) is the most common surgical technique for the diagnosis and initial treatment of bladder cancer. In this study, we evaluated two surgical techniques in terms of bladder injury due to obturator reflex in patients that underwent TUR for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). MATERIAL AND METHODS 93 patients who underwent TUR for bladder cancer wer...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of distal ureter management on oncological results after open nephroureterectomy (ONU) comparing transurethral resection of the intramural ureter to conventional open excision, as controversy still exists about the method of choice for managing the distal ureter and bladder cuff during ONU. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively collected data from 378 patie...

OBJECTIVE Cost containment has become an important issue in medical practice because of recent bad economic conditions. We analyzed the cost of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) patients and cost-effective analysis was carried out comparing transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), visual laser ablation of the prostate (VLAP) and transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT). MATERIALS & ME...

PURPOSE Endoscopic urethrotomy is an alternative method in treatment of urethral stricture. However, it have high recurrence rate because of the remained fibrotic tissue. Removal of the fibrotic tissue can maintain the patency of the urethral lumen after the procedure. We report the therapeutic efficacy of our initial experience using pediatric resectoscope for treating anterior urethral strict...

INTRODUCTION Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the gold standard for surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but it has complications such as bleeding and transurethral resection syndrome. The treatment results of TURP performed by non-Japanese board-certified urologists were examined, and the results were analyzed according to the resection volume to determine...
