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...

OBJECTIVE Identify prognostic factors associated to late urinary toxicity in patients with prostate cancer submitted to radical conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS From July 1997 to January 2002, 285 patients with localized prostate cancer were consecutively treated with 3DCRT and retrospectively analyzed. Thirty seven (13%) patients were submitted to transurethral prostate ...

PURPOSE To present outcomes of transurethral removal (TUR) of intravesical or intraurethral mesh after midurethral slings. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective chart review of 23 consecutive women: 20 with intravesical mesh and 3 with intraurethral mesh. RESULTS To remove the mesh, transurethral resection with an electrode loop (TUR-E) was used in 16 women and transurethral resect...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bipolar transurethral enucleation and resection of the prostate (B-TUERP) versus bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (B-TURP) in the treatment of prostates larger than 60g. MATERIAL AND METHODS Clinical data for 270 BPH patients who underwent B-TUERP and 204 patients who underwent B-TURP for BPH from May 2007 to May 2013 at our cent...

Genitourinary tuberculosis accounts for approximately 5.3% of extrapulmonary [1]. It may involve the kidneys, ureters, bladder, prostate, vas deferens, epididymis, and testes. However, prostatic can exceptionally be found as an isolated lesion. We report a case 60-year-old patient who was admitted to emergency room with Acute urinary retention, treated benign hyperplasia, failure medical treatm...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE While the power needed to initiate bipolar vaporization is higher than conventional monopolar resection, the energy needed to maintain bipolar vaporization is significantly lower and may result in less thermal tissue injury. This may have implications for hemostasis, scarring, and perioperative morbidity. The objective of this study is to assess histopathologic changes in...

Primary localized amyloidosis is a rare disease with an excellent prognosis in most cases. We report a case of primary localized amyloidosis of the bladder that was treated with transurethral resection.

We present a case of bladder perforation secondary to intravesical instillation of mitomycin C following transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) and the role of early detection leading to successful conservative management. We also review the key relevant literature.

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...
