Hysteroscopic procedure can be complicated by intravascular absorption of irrigating fluid. The clinical features of this complication are similar to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome. There have been few reports on hypocalcemia during endoscopic surgery and clinical implications of hypocalcemia in TURP syndrome have been underestimated. We report a case of TURP syndrome a...

Results: All cases were successfully performed through the abdominal cavity through the robotic surgical system. Mean operation time was (141±58) min. Mean blood loss was (198±220) mL, mean postoperative catheter retained time was (7.3±3.8) days, mean hospita...

INTRODUCTION In patients with minor lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and (multiple) negative multi-site biopsies, therapy decision is complex. Long-term outcome of a diagnostic transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in these patients needs to be determined. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated patients with minor LUTS, elevated PSA l...

The necessity of routine prostate biopsy prior to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in elderly comorbid patients with a high prostate specific antigen (PSA) level remains controversial. We assessed the role of TURP in prostate cancer diagnosis in these individuals. A total of 197 patients underwent TURP in conjunction with prostatic needle biopsy. Pathologic reviews of specimens of...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of high-power 120W Greenlight HPS laser (HPS) and compare the results to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), and define a subgroup of patients who had better symptom score improvement after HPS. METHODS One hundred and twenty-five patients who underwent surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (61 HPS and 64 TURP) w...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of a new microwave thermotherapy for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the ProstaLund Feedback Treatment (PLFT, ProstaLund Operations AB, Lund, Sweden) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in a clinical trial to their effectiveness in clinical practice over 1 year, to estimate their cost over 1 year, and to evaluate the cost of re-inter...

Background: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is one best available treatments for benign hypertrophy prostate. Many complications in TURP are associated with absorption irrigation fluid. In BIPOLAR TURP, normal saline used as an irrigant which more physiological. Aims and Objectives: Our aim study to evaluate correlation between post-operative electrolyte changes perioperative fac...

Objective: To generate high-quality data comparing the clinical efficacy and safety profile between monopolar transurethral resection of prostate (M-TURP) bipolar plasmakinetic (PK-TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Materials Methods: Prospective, randomized, single-blinded study conducted in a tertiary-care public institution (Dec/2014-Aug/2016). Inclusion criteria: <80g patients wi...

Objective: Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) has long been the gold standard for the management of benign prostate enlargement (BPE). Over the years, laser techniques have been developed as major alternative treatment for BPE. Retrospectively, we compared the preoperative status and surgical outcomes of conventional TURP with those of high-intensity diode laser vaporization in combinat...

BACKGROUND Transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) is a common surgical intervention for chronic lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Little large-scale evidence exists on factors related to receipt of non-cancer-related TURP. METHODS A prospective study of men aged ≥45 years participating in the 45 and Up Study, a large Australian cohort study, without prior prostatectomy and/or bowel/genital/uri...
