Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) Articles

PURPOSE - To study the interaction between benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PCa).

METHODS - In this study, we performed a chart review of a cohort of 448 biopsy naive men. These men received a multi-core biopsy at our institution due to increased prostate-specific antigen (PSA) serum levels (>4 ng/ml) and/or suspicious findings on digital rectal examination in the years between 2008 and 2013.

To systematically review studies comparing the overall efficacy and safety of lasers and bipolar technology for the transurethral treatment of benign prostatic enlargement (BPE).

A systematic review of the literature was completed in February 2018.

The necessity to cease anticoagulation before photoselective vaporization (PVP) surgery remains nonconsensual. We aimed at assessing the efficacy and safety of PVP among high-risk benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) patients on or off anticoagulation.

The aim of this study is to assess the overall efficacy and safety of photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) with GreenLight 120-W laser versus transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for treating patients of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

The reduction of long-term reoperation after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for benign prostate enlargement would minimize the challenge of increased financial costs and optimize patients’ satisfaction.

BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - Sunitinib is the standard first-line treatment for advanced RCC; however, sunitinib-related adverse events such as influence on endocrine organ activity, hypothyroidism, impaired glucose tolerance, and increased levels of amylase and lipases have been reported.

Urethral ultrasonography is non-invasive and able to indicate the urethral lumen clearly, as well as the surrounding tissues of the posterior urethra, without contrast agent or X-ray irradiation. In this paper, we evaluate the reliability of urethral ultrasonography in the diagnosis of dysuria following bipolar transurethral plasma kinetic prostatectomy (TUPKP).

Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is an effective and safe surgery for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, some patients exhibit postoperative urinary incontinence. Here, we compared surgical outcomes and incidence of stress urinary incontinence between HoLEP with and without anterior prostatic urethral mucosa preservation (APUMP).
