To describe litigation patterns of transurethral surgery in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia including verdicts, types of lawsuits, plaintiff claims, and timing of the claims....
Data was gathered by searching for litigation cases between January 1, 1980 and December 1, 2021 in the Westlaw legal database using keywords for transurethral surgeries for benign prostatic hyperplas...
The Westlaw search yielded 44 unique cases after removing duplicate and irrelevant cases. The most common surgery resulting in a lawsuit was transurethral resection of the prostate (70%) and urologist...
Complications of transurethral surgeries and lack of consent are common reasons for patient's filing a lawsuit. Healthcare providers should ensure patient understanding of surgical risks and thoroughl...
We aimed to use Mendelian randomization (MR) to determine the causality between fifteen major mental disorders (MDs) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer (PCa), and prostatitis....
The main MR analysis was performed using the inverse variance-weighted (IVW) method....
The study found that insomnia (odds ratio [OR], 1.6190;...
Our findings provide clinicians with a basis for developing programs to prevent or treat MDs and prostatic diseases....
Epidemiological investigations have revealed an important association between infection, inflammation and prostate cancer. Certain bacterial species, such as Klebsiella spp, Escherichia coli, Pseudomo...
Sixty-six prostate cancer patients and forty controls provided midstream urine samples. The urine samples were grown on suitable medium, and bacterial isolates were detected by standard microbiologica...
This study's findings established the presence of bacteria previously linked to prostatitis. This report indicates a high prevalence of pro-inflammatory bacteria and uropathogens in the urinary tract ...
Laser enucleation of the prostate (LEP) and robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) are two main treatment methods for large benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but the superiority between these ...
Intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) has been reported to be associated with bladder outlet obstruction and is the main cause of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) during the development of benign...
Clinical data analysis was performed to analyze the association between IPP and long-term complications in patients with BPH. RNA sequencing was performed on prostate tissues (IPP or not). Stromal cel...
First, we confirmed that IPP is a prognostic factor for long-term complications in patients with BPH. Then, we observed that FGF7 was upregulated in both IPP tissues and IPP primary stromal cells thro...
Our data reveal a novel amplification effect, i.e., stromal cell-derived FGF7 promotes epithelial cell proliferation and stromal cell phenotype, ultimately inducing IPP formation. Targeting FGF7 can s...
Although the results on acute and late toxicity of ultrahypofractionation are encouraging, data on safety in prostate cancer patients with a medical history of transurethral resection of the prostate ...
Among 150 patients treated with SBRT (median dose 36.25 Gy in five fractions) realised from 2014 to 2019 in a single-centre institution, data of 24 men with a history of TURP (n = 19) or adenomectomy ...
With a median follow-up of 45 months, 10 of 24 (42%) patients experienced at least one episode of transient haematuria. One patient (4%) with three previous TURP presented a grade 3 acute non-infectiv...
Prostate SBRT is feasible and well-tolerated in patients with a medical history of surgical treatments of benign hyperplasia. Patients with prior adenomectomy or multiple TURP are at higher risk of de...
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common and progressive urological disease in elderly men worldwide. Epidemiological studies have suggested that the speed of disease progression varies a...
To identify the urodynamic parameters affecting the clinical outcomes of transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP) surgery for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) by multifactor analys...
The medical records of patients who underwent TURP surgery for BPH between December 2018 and September 2021 were collected from the urology department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medi...
A total of 201 patients underwent TURP, of whom 144 had complete preoperative urodynamic data. Each urodynamic factor was subjected to multifactor analysis, and the bladder contractility index (BCI), ...
The regression model had high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity in predicting the efficacy of surgery, and the diagnostic value was higher than that of individual urodynamic factors. Therefore, B...
Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia are usually treated with 5α-reduced inhibitors (5ARIs) such as finasteride and dutasteride. However, studies on the influence of 5ARIs on sexual function hav...
81 patients with benign prostate hyperplasia were enrolled in a one-armed prospective study. They were administrated 0.5 mg/day of dutasteride for 12 months. Patient characteristics and changes of Int...
The mean ± standard deviation (SD) age of the patients was 69.4 ± 4.9 years and the prostate volume was 56.6 ± 21.3 mL, respectively. The mean ± SD prostate volume and PSA levels were decreased 25.0 a...
Twelve months administration of dutasteride for patients with BPH improved urinary function and did not increase the risk of sexual dysfunction....
To evaluate the impact of surgical caseload on safety, efficacy, and functional outcomes of laser enucleation of the prostate (LEP) applying a structured mentoring program....
Patient characteristics, perioperative data, and functional outcomes were analyzed descriptively. Linear and logistic regression models analyzed the effect of caseload on complications, functional out...
A total of 677 patients from our prospective institutional database (2017-2022) were included for analysis. Of these, 84 (12%), 75 (11%), 82 (12%), 106 (16%), and 330 patients (49%) were operated by s...
With a structured mentoring program, the safety and efficacy of LEP can be ensured even during the learning curve with very good outcome quality. Only the operating time decreases significantly with i...
