The TUNA device is a unique system that uses radiofrequency energy to ablate the obstructing prostate adenoma. Although the clinical data are preliminary, they appear to provide improvement in symptom scores and peak flow rates, although somewhat less than TURP. A prospective, randomized trial comparing TUNA to TURP is under way, which should answer many of the questions regarding the safety an...

CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 56-year-old Chinese male with previously diagnosed prostatic stromal tumour of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP) presented with urinary retention 6 years after transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Cystoscopy showed a papillary tumour of the prostatic urethra causing near-complete obstruction. Repeat TURP was performed. He has been asymp...

Here, we compared the effects of bipolar and monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (B-TURP, M-TURP) for treating elderly patients (≥75 years) with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) who had internal comorbidities. Eligible BPH patients were aged ≥75 years and had at least one internal comorbidity. In this open-label, prospective trial, patients were assigned to B-TURP (n = 75) and M-...

a:1:{i:0;s:867:"Cystic lesions in midline of prostate are uncommon and considered as congenital disorders. Here we report a 33- year- old male who presented with either azoospermia or decreased ejaculate volume leading to infertility and for whom performing Transrectal ultrasonography had a critical role in diagnosis. The obtained images revealed a congenital cyst of the prostate gland just in ...

Clinical benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common cause of lower urinary tract symptoms and transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) has been the gold standard technique for surgical treatment of benign prostate obstruction (BPO) over the last 2 decades. Although monopolar TURP is considered a safe and effective option for surgical management of BPO, there are some disadva...

The treatment for prostate abscesses includes a combination of antimicrobial therapy and surgical drainage of the abscess cavity. There is a lack of published cases involving treatment options for a prostate abscess after a failed transurethral resection of the prostate. This is a case report describing a successful salvage treatment after a failed attempt at abscess drainage by a transurethral...

Intravesical explosion during transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is an extremely rare event. It might be associated with various degrees of bladder injury ranging from simple mucosal tear to rupture of the bladder. It is believed that intravesical explosion occurs due to formation of explosive gases in the bladder during TURP and its admixture with air. One case of intravesical expl...

OBJECTIVE To determine the use of the prostate specific antigen (PSA) level and digital rectal examination (DRE) findings to estimate the resected tissue weight (RTW) before transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analysed 983 patients who underwent TURP between December 2006 and December 2012. The primary outcome was the RTW required for clinic...

PURPOSE We compared the outcome of transurethral resection of the prostate and high energy microwave thermotherapy in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of 52 patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia 21 (mean age plus or minus standard deviation 69.6 +/- 8.5 years) were treated with transurethral resection of the prostate and 31 (mean age 69.3 +/- ...
