background: irritable bowel syndrome (ibs) is a chronic functional bowel disorder that up to 20% of the population is suffering from it. also benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph) is a common problem that approximately 90 percent of men may be affected by this condition until the eighth decade of their life. prostatectomy as a surgery and pelvic intervention can cause ibs. methods: it was a case-c...

background prostate traction is one way to control post-prostatectomy bleeding. the most popular method involves traction with a catheter fixed to the thigh with adhesive bands. however, this method has its own drawbacks. objectives we aimed to simplify this traction procedure and to overcome its disadvantages. patients and methods from 2007 - 2015, a new method was used to control post-prostat...

Background: Presence of discordance between the Gleason score on needle biopsy and the score of radical prostatectomy specimen is common and universal. In this study, we determined the accuracy of Gleason grading of biopsies in predicting histological grading of radical prostatectomy specimens and the degree of overgrading and undergrading of prostatic adenocarcinoma i...

conclusions the present study showed that local administration of tra significantly reduces bleeding after prostatectomy surgery and is effective in preventing postoperative hemoglobin decrease. objectives in this study, the effect of local administration of tra on reducing bleeding during prostatectomy surgery was evaluated. methods a total of 186 patients who underwent prostatectomy surgery w...

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) exercise on urinary incontinence in patients undergoing or after prostatectomy surgery. The method used is a systematic review articles from Pubmed, Proquest, ScienceDirect, SAGE and Scopus databases. results showed that PFMT other combination therapies could strengthen pelvic muscles train nerves with inconti...

background: presence of discordance between the gleason score on needle biopsy and the score of radical prostatectomy specimen is common and universal. in this study, we determined the accuracy of gleason grading of biopsies in predicting histological grading of radical prostatectomy specimens and the degree of overgrading and undergrading of prostatic adenocarcinoma in our center, which is one...

OBJECTIVES To compare the surgical outcomes of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, including the frequency and location of positive surgical margins. METHODS The study cohort comprised 708 consecutive male patients with clinically localized prostate cancer who underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (n = 551) or robot-assisted radical prostatectom...

PURPOSE Surgical technique, patient characteristics and method of pathological review may influence surgical margin status. We evaluated the incidence and location of positive surgical margins in 200 sequential robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy and 200 sequential open radical retropubic prostatectomy cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS From July 2002 until December 2006 a total of ...
