Methods： A total of 181 men with BPH were recruited, and 100 of them were followed for one year. Cystometry was performed in a standing or a sitting position with 30 mL/min infusion. BC was manually corrected and defined. Obstruction coefficient （OCO）, linear passive urethral resistance relation and international continence society （ICS） nomogram were used to diagnose BOO. The obstructed parameters were compared between the reduced BC group and the non-reduced group. BC was compared between the first investigation at the beginning of study and the second investigation at the end of study during the one-year follow-up period. Results： The group with reduced BC had increased OCO and linear passive urethral resistance relation. BC was significantly lower in the obstructed group （55.7 mL/cm water） than that in unobstructed and equivocal one （74.9 mL/cm water, P 〈 0.01）. BC gradually reduced with the increased obstructed grade. There was a significantly weak negative correlation between BC and OCO （r = - 0.132, P 〈 0.01）. Over the one-year follow-up period in the longitudinal study, BC for all men changed from 54.4 to 48.8 mL/cm water （P 〉 0.05）, and BC for the group with BOO fell from 58.4 ± 70.1 to 46.5 ± 38.7 mL/cm water （P 〉 0.05）. Conclusion： In men with BPH, a significant systematic decrease occurred in BC in the obstructed group and a significant systematic increase with urethral resistance occurred in the low BC group. A longitudinal study of the tendency of BC reduction in a group with BOO is necessary in the future.展开更多

Patient and Methods: The study was conducted in Department of General Surgery in Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi. 60 men with proven clinical diagnosis of BPH of size 30 grams and less presenting with symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) were randomised prospectively to undergo either of the two operative modalities. Preoperatively size of the prostate, symptom scoring (IPSS), peak flow rate (Qmax) were assessed. Postoperatively and during 4 months follow up the following data were collected—operative time, catheterisation period, hospital stay, blood loss, Qmax and IPSS. Results: Preoperative parameters in both the groups showed no statistically significant differences with respect to prostate size, Qmax and IPSS Scoring. At 4 months follow up Qmax increased from (6.35 ± 4.49) to (16.41 ± 2.28) in TURP group and (4.51 ± 3.57) to (15.95 ± 2.58) in BNI group. IPSS decreased from 18.70 to 5.7 in TURP group and 18.90 to 6.00 in BNI group. All differences were statistically significant. There was a statistically significant difference in operative time, blood loss, hospital stay, catheterisation timing favouring BNI. Conclusion: TURP and BNI are equally effective in providing symptomatic improvement. BNI has an upper hand in reference to operative time, hospital stay, duration of catheterisation and blood loss.展开更多

Methods： Twenty-three men with benign prostatic hyperplasia underwent both suprapubic and transurethral pressure-flow studies during a single session. Standard pressure-flow variables were recorded in all patients with both methods, enabling calculation of obstruction using commonly used grading systems, such as the urethral resistance algorithm, the Abrams-Griffith （AG） number and the Schaefer linear nomogram. Results： There were statistically significant differences between the methods in the mean values of maximum flow rate （P 〈 0.05）, detrusor pressure at the maximum flow （P 〈 0.01）, urethral resistance algorithm （P 〈 0.01）, AG number （P 〈 0.01） and maximum cystic capacity （P 〈 0.01）. Of the men in the study, 10 （43.5%） remained in the same Schaefer class with both methods and 18 （78.3%） in the same AG number area. Using the transurethral method, 12 （52.2%） men increased their Schaefer class by one and 1 （4.3%） by two. There were also differences between the suprapubic and transurethral methods using the AG number： 4 （17.4%） men moved from a classification of equivocal to obstructed and 1 （4.3%） from unobstructed to equivocal. Conclusion： The differences between the techniques for measuring intravesical pressure alter the grading of obstruction determined by several of the commonly used classifications. An 8 F transurethral catheter significantly increases the likelihood of a diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction when compared with the suprapubic method.展开更多

BPH is caused by unregulated proliferation within the prostate, which may cause physical obstruction of the prostatic urethra and result in anatomic bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has been the historical gold standard up till now to which all endoscopic procedures for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are compared with a mean hospital stay of three days. This surgery although efficacious has been related with increased morbidity and increased day case failure rates as compared to newer techniques. These shortcomings have prompted the utilization of newer methods like Transurethral enucleation and resection of the prostate (TUERP), Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and Thulium laser enucleation of the prostate (ThuLEP). This review will discuss the enucleation techniques, advantages and therefore the predictive factors for a successful day case prostate surgery. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> During this review, we discuss the newer techniques utilized in day case BPH surgery as well as the predictive factors for a successful BPH surgery, both enucleation, benefits and morcellation are covered also. <strong>Results:</strong> TUERP, ThuLEP and HoLEP have literature supporting the advantages of these techniques, which demonstrates its ability in day case BPH surgeries in specially selected cases with favorable factors and a 61% overall success rate. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> TUERP, ThuLEP and HoLEP Have proven to show favorable outcomes in day case BPH surgery with urologist’s experience, prostate size, duration of operation, age, use of anticoagulants, morning theatre list and ASA score being the key factors for a successful day case surgery.展开更多

However, concerns regarding the effect of testosterone on the prostate, in particular any possible effect on the risk of prostate cancer have prompted further research in this regard. Surprisingly, numerous retrospective or small, randomized trials have pointed to a possible improvement in male lower urinary tract symptoms （LUTS） in patients treated with testosterone. The exact mechanism of this improvement is still debated but may have a close relationship to metabolic syndrome. For the clinician, the results of these studies are promising but do not constitute high levels of evidence. A thorough clinical examination （including history, examination and laboratory testing of testosterone） should be undertaken before considering the diagnosis of late-onset hypogonadism or instigating treatment for it. Warnings still remain on the testosterone supplement product labels regarding the risk of urinary retention and worsening LUTS, and these should be explained to patients.展开更多
