Pathologists nowadays are frequently confronted with post-radiotherapy biopsies of the prostate. It is critical to recognize the changes of benign prostatic tissue with radiation effect, which include frequent acinar atrophy, acinar distortion, basal cell hyperplasia, decreased acinar/stromal ratio, and stromal fibrosis. The non-neoplastic irradiated prostate can have nuclear enlargement and bi...

Glutagthione S-transferase (GST) is over-expressed in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) patients, but the significance of GST polymorphisms for susceptibility to diseases of the prostate is unclear. The objectives of this study were to determine relationships between polymorphisms in the GSTM1, T1 and P1 genes with risk of symptomatic BPH and influence on standard therapy. A gene polymorphism a...

PURPOSE We aimed to evaluate obesity, a risk factor of metabolic syndrome, and its association with prostatic enlargement in a retrospective cohort in Korea. METHODS Baseline data were obtained from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study on Atherosclerosis Risk of Rural Areas in the Korean General Population (KoGES-ARIRANG). Between March 2015 and November 2015, 2,127 male participants of K...

The clinical syndrome of benign prostatic hyperplasia reflects a complex interplay between benign prostatic enlargement, which will affect almost all men by the age of 80, and the resulting outlet obstruction and lower urinary tract symptoms. The disease is now known to adversely affect the quality of life of around one man in three over the age of 50. New medical treatments and new surgical in...

INTRODUCTION Only few reports are known about the use of robotic surgery for prostate benign enlargement. The robotic surgery can be improved by laparoscopic tricks. We show a video of robotic adenomectomy where a laparoscopic dissector is used to help create the plan between prostatic capsule and adenoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 62 years old male had severe urinary flow outlet obstruction. M...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of the existing management protocol of patients presenting with acute urinary retention due to benign prostatic enlargement on clinical efficacy and surgical practice. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING The Urology Unit at the Teaching Hospital, Karapitiya, Galle. PATIENTS 100 consecutive patients with a first episode of acute urinary retention due to a cl...

The prostatic cysts are uncommon lesions usually detected incidentally. The incidence is reported as less than 1% most often occurs as small and asymptomatic lesions located medially in the gland; when they get a big size causes different lower urinary tract symptoms. Only 5% are symptomatic. The symptoms depend on the size and location of the lesion. Minimal access surgery (endoscopic) is reco...

BACKGROUND Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) is said to affect at least a third of men over 60. However, the literature contains fewer than 200 reports of prostates over 200g in mass - Giant Prostatic Hypertrophy (GPH). Nephrogenic adenomas are benign lesions of the urinary tract that are believed to represent the local proliferation of shed renal tubular cells implanting at sites of urothelia...

We compared a selection of quantitative immunological methods for prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) with routine colorimetric assays for total and tartrate-labile acid phosphatase and evaluated their relative clinical merits in the differential diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma. We also assessed a wide range of commercial control materials for suitability of use with these methods. Patients studi...
