introduction: green light photo selective vaporization of the prostate (pvp) is a minimally invasive method of treatment for clinical benign prostatic hyperplasia with fewer side effects. the aim of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and cost analysis of pvp compared with transurethral resection of prostate. methods: a systematic search was done in cochrane, trip database, medl...

PURPOSE Elderly patients under spinal anesthesia are vulnerable to hypothermia, leading to increased morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of preoperative forced-air warming on perioperative hypothermia and shivering in elderly patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) under spinal anesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients (> 65-year-old) sc...

BACKGROUND In recent times there has been a number of newer methods advocated as treatment for bladder outlet obstruction. Prior to embracing these newer technologies, the authors' experiences with conventional transurethral resection of the prostate should be evaluated and compared with those experienced in the newer modalities. The objective was to determine whether a standard transurethral r...

BACKGROUND Short-term and long-term complications of transurethral prostate resection can be different in nature. Capsule perforation and subsequent fistulation after resection and electrovaporization is seldom reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION Here we report the case of a 79-year-old caucasian man with capsule perforation after transurethral prostate resection and electrovaporiza...

Thirty-six patients who presented for transurethral prostatic resection were allocated randomly to one of two groups. Patients in group A were given methoxamine 10 mg i.m., 15 min before spinal anaesthesia. Patients in group B acted as a control group. All patients received spinal anaesthesia. Preoperative administration of methoxamine 10 mg i.m. decreased blood loss significantly and improved ...

A patient who was troubled by the persistent passage of prostatic calculi following transurethral prostatectomy is reported. The pathogenesis of these calculi is postulated.

OBJECTIVES A cost-effectiveness analysis was carried out comparing electrosurgical transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser resection of the prostate (HoLRP). METHODS One hundred twenty patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and urodynamically proved obstruction were randomized to undergo either TURP or HoLRP. Economic and clinical outcome ...

background: irritable bowel syndrome (ibs) is a chronic functional bowel disorder that up to 20% of the population is suffering from it. also benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) is a common problem that approximately 90 percent of men may be affected by this condition until the eighth decade of their life. prostatectomy as a surgery and pelvic intervention can cause ibs. methods: it was a case-c...

In the past 2 decades, endoscopic enucleation of the prostate has become a safe and effective surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), with comparable outcomes to traditional surgeries. Transurethral vapor enucleation and resection of the prostate (TVERP), transurethral vapor enucleation of the prostate (TVEP), and ultrasound-navigated TVEP (US-TVEP) are new, innovative endosc...

INTRODUCTION A little deeper resection was done during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) to fill the disparities of reported prevalence rates between latent and incidental prostate cancer, as well as in order not to overlook clinically significant incidental cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed TURP in 995 patients who were diagnosed to ...
