To assess the durability of holmium laser enucleation prostate in comparison to transurethral resection (TURP).Patients were enrolled present study between June 1997 and December 2000 followed per protocol. All patients urodynamically obstructed with a volume 40 200 mL. At long-term follow-up, variables assessed included Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Impact Index (BPHII), International Continence Society Short Form Male questionnaire (ICSmale-SF) Erectile Function (IIEF).

It has previously been shown that holmium laser resection of the prostate (HoLRP) is superior to transurethral (TURP) with regard perioperative morbidity and equivalent TURP in short term. We present long-term results a randomized, prospective trial comparing HoLRP since information regarding durability prostatectomy lacking literature date.A total 120 patients urodynamic obstruction were randomized (April 1996 August 1997) into 2 comparable groups assigned or TURP. All assessed...

To compare the efficacy of extracorporeal electromagnetic stimulation (ES) pelvic floor for treating stress urinary incontinence (SUI) vs sham ES.In all, 70 women with urodynamically confirmed SUI were randomized to receive active (35) or ES. The NeoControl chair (NeoTonus, Marietta, GA, USA) was used, and treatment consisted three sessions per week 6 weeks. data collected before after on all women, including a 20-min provocative pad-test predetermined bladder volume (primary outcome...

Bladder neck incision (BNI) is a common, minimally invasive treatment option for bladder outflow obstruction in men with small prostate. We compared BNI using the holmium:YAG laser to holmium enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) prospective, randomized, urodynamically based trial.A total 40 patients urodynamic (Schafer grade 2 or greater) and gm greater on transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) were randomized equally (HoBNI) HoLEP as an outpatient procedure. The outcomes assessed operative time, catheter...

To determine if there is a Valsalva leak-point pressure (VLPP) threshold that predicts for retro-urethral transobturator sling (RTS) success in men with post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence (UI).The preoperative urodynamic parameters of all patients undergoing RTS (AdVance™) surgery over the last 5 years were analysed and compared postoperative outcomes. The was defined as having been successful patient no longer had to wear pads or merely used pad provide sense security.In all, 46 mean...

Abstract Objectives Bladder neck contracture (BNC) is a well‐recognized complication following radical prostatectomy (RP). This problem may recur after failing initial endoscopic management. study evaluated the efficacy of intralesional steroid injection combined with bladder incision (BNI) for recurrent BNC RP. Methods Between November 2011 and March 2018, data from all men who underwent BNI single regional center were collected. was diagnosed endoscopically identified as if having...
