BACKGROUND Few studies have focused on clinical findings in prostate cancer patients receiving transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for acute urinary retention (AUR). We compared the clinical findings (preoperative characteristics, operative morbidities, and pathology results) of patients with diagnosed prostate cancer undergoing palliative TURP for AUR with those of patients undergoi...

BACKGROUND Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the most common surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to compare the conventional bipolar transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) with a modified transurethral resection of the prostate (M-TURP) in men with mild to moderate symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. PATI...

Objective: To compare holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for treatment of men with bladder outflow obstruction (BOO) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia with a minimum of 24-month follow-up. Patients and methods: Sixty-one patients were randomised to either HoLEP or TURP. All patients had BOO proven on urodynamic studies p...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the long-term surgical outcomes of patients with urinary retention (UR) caused by a benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), and compare their outcomes with those of patients who received medication without surgical intervention. METHODS This retrospective cohort study analyzed claims data collected during the peri...

BACKGROUND Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is considered the gold standard for the surgical treatment of BPH. Irrigant fluid absorption by the patient is a potentially serious complication of TURP and can lead to dilutional hyponatremia and TURP syndrome. Other common complications of TURP include urinary tract infection and secondary haemorrhage. The objective of this study was to c...

OBJECTIVES To report 3-yr follow-up results of a randomised clinical trial comparing holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) with transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). METHODS A total of 200 patients with urodynamic obstruction and a prostate volume of less than 100 cc were prospectively randomised and assigned to HoLEP or TURP. All patients were assessed preoperatively an...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in serum electrolytes during Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and to evaluate the degree of correlation of hyponatremia and the factors that affect the incidence of TURP syndrome and to show the impact of the duration of the procedure on the severity of hyponatremia due to absorption of irrigation fluid ...

OBJECTIVE Thulium laser resection of the prostate-tangerine technique (TmLRP-TT) is a transurethral procedure that uses thulium laser fiber to dissect whole prostatic lobes off the surgical capsule, similar to peeling a tangerine. To our knowledge we report the first prospective, randomized study comparing TmLRP-TT and standard TURP for symptomatic BPH. METHODS From November 2004 to December ...

BACKGROUND This study investigated the risk of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) and acute urine retention (AUR) in relation to 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor (5ARI) therapy. METHODS We identified 22,687 patients who were newly diagnosed with PE and low urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2011. We further classified study subjects who had moderate to s...
