PURPOSE Vaporization techniques using lasers have gained wide acceptance for benign prostatic hyperplasia as an alternative to transurethral prostate resection. The high power, 980 nm wavelength diode laser is a new promising alternative with a more rapid ablation rate and excellent hemostatic properties, as shown in ex vivo and in vivo animal models. We prospectively evaluated vaporization eff...

BACKGROUND To preliminary investigate the effects of silodosin 8 mg once daily on obstruction urodynamic parameters and subjective symptoms in Caucasian patients with lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic enlargement. METHODS We performed a single-center, open-label, single-arm, post-marketing interventional clinical trial. Inclusion criteria were: Caucasian subjects age...

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is clinically defined as prostate adenoma, resulting in bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), which may eventually harm the and even kidneys. For differential diagnosis of male LUTS, uroflowmetry can be used together with non-invasive ultrasound to ascertain flow rate IPP. PSA also an important indicator for diagnosis. International symptoms score (IPS...

Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in ageing men and prostate resection surgical procedure for it. The symptoms of the enlarge can be assessed by using International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS). Some studies show that resected volume correlates with while some no correlation between resected. Objective: To find IPSS after resection. Study Design: Cross-Secti...

PURPOSE We report on the first randomized trial to our knowledge comparing holmium laser ablation and photoselective vaporization of the prostate in patients with a small to moderate size prostate. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between March 2005 and April 2007, 109 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate size 60 cc or smaller were randomized ...

androgenic alopecia as a physiologic process and benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) as a pathologic process in the older population are androgen-dependent processes influenced by 5-alpha reductase enzyme which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. this cross sectional study was done to evaluate the relationship between androgenic alopecia and bph. 150 men older than 50 years old, who pr...
