BACKGROUND To evaluate the safety and accuracy of simultaneous transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy and transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), patients with acute urinary retention (AUR) who underwent simultaneous prostate biopsy and TURP were compared with those treated by TURP alone. METHODS From July 2000 to Jun 2004, 21 patients older than 70 years with AUR were ...

OBJECTIVES This study aims to review and assess the safety of carrying out transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) and transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) simultaneously, in men who require TURP for bladder outflow obstruction and are incidentally found to have a transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. METHODS A detailed Medline search between 1966 and 2005 identified onl...

INTRODUCTION We summarize the current guidelines, techniques, efficacy and complications associated with monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Patients who elect to have endoscopic surgical bladder outlet reduction are faced with an abundance of evolving treatment options. As new technol...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in patients with a large prostate (>90 g), as a significant recent modification of TURP is the incorporation of bipolar technology, which uses the same technique as monopolar TURP but with normal saline as the irrigant. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty patients with a prostate of >90 g and who we...

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains the dominant and definitive treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS-BPH), but the widespread use of medical therapies (particularly monotherapies) for rapid symptom improvement has meant that the most common indication for TURP has shifted...

Hypothesis / aims of study Despite the development of new minimally invasive methods, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains the gold standard surgical treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) related to BPH, with more than 90% of the patients reporting normal or improved voiding, after 10-year follow-up period. The recommended technique of TURP consists of complete rem...

Whether complete resection was possible with TURP was explained. A lot of adenoma remains after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), the other hand transurethral enucleation of the prostate (TUE) is useful for complete resection of an adenoma.
