There is still no consensus regarding intraprostatic androgen levels and the accumulation of androgens in hyperplastic prostatic tissue. The current opinion that dihydrotestosterone (DHT) concentrations are maintained but not elevated benign hyperplasia (BPH), while there similar data concerning testosterone (T).Tissue T (tT) tissue DHT (tDHT) concentration were determined 93 patients scheduled for initial prostate biopsy. criteria biopsy abnormal DRE and/or PSA > 4 ng/mL. Total volume (TPV)...

To analyse the indications, diagnosis, major causes and basic principles of surgical treatment vesico-uterine fistulas (VUF).From 1970 to 2006, 14 patients underwent repair VUF in two Belgrade hospitals. The most common cause a fistula was previous Caesarean section (13/14). mean (range) age 27 (22-38) years. Five women transvesical suture, nine transperitoneal approach with interposition tissue flap; an omental flap five peritoneal four.The duration surgery 85 (70-120) min. hospital stay...

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is an aggressive benign mass that may arise from various tissues and organs with a great variability of histological clinical appearances. Due to variable nonspecific imaging findings, diagnosis IMT not obtained before surgery. The aim this paper present CT MRI findings during four-year follow-up complete, spontaneous regression the uterus. was made by histology immunohistochemistry analysis open excisional biopsy specimen. At time, organ origin...

Laser therapy has gained increasing acceptance as a relatively less invasive treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). From the early procedure of interstitial laser coagulation through use holmium enucleation prostate, there been an expanding body evidence on efficacy such procedures. One newer lasers is Green Light HPS 180 W laser. Studies with this GreenLight (GLL) (American Medical Systems, Inc, Minnetonka, MN, USA) showing results good...

To estimate the ratio between urinary prostate specific antigen (uPSA) and tumor volume after biopsy.From 2000 to July 2008, uPSA concentration was determined in 60 patients with clinically organ-confined cancer (PCa). All underwent six-area transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)--guided biopsy, at least 12 biopsy cores. Single pathologist grade (G), Gleason score (GS), percentage of infiltration (% TI) positive cores PC) all Additionally, relative tumor-biopsy (RTV) calculated by multiplying % PC,...

Introduction. Some cases of secondary adenocarcinoma developing in the replaced bowel segment urinary diversions have been reported so far. Secondary develops 20 years after surgery about 0.5% those whom an ileal is used. There several reports literature describing extensions transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) from distal urether into conduit. Histology loop tumor 50% was TCC. The site tumors majority area at uretheral orifices or stoma. Case report. We presented a rare case orthotopic...

To present the use of autologous buccal mucosa graft (BMG) in treatment recurrent vesicovaginal fistula (VVF). In 2011, two women, aged 45 years and 56 years, were admitted due to VVF. Both women had previously undergone abdominal hysterectomies for benign conditions and, subsequently, vaginal VVF repair urine leakage. On admission, younger woman a round fistula, with diameter 1.5 cm, located on left side, supratrigonally; other an ellipsoidal measuring 2.5 cm × medially supratrigonally....

To examine the possible reasons for great varieties in urethral prostate specific antigen (urPSA) levels, patients after radical prostatectomy (RP).In 46 with pros-tate cancer, PSA, urPSA, total testosterone, body-mass index (BMI) and stage of androgenic alopecia (AGA) were determined. Forty-five underwent retropubic RP, while one cystoprostatectomy orthotopic bladder construction, due to cancer.Average age prior surgery plus or minus standard deviation was 65.2 +/- 5.8 years. Average urPSA...

The aim of this paper is to point out the significance rare urinary system anomaly such as horseshoe kidney. Tumors kidney are rarely described single cases in literature. Bilateral tumors can present a health and therapeutically challenge. In we have analyzed characteristics horse shoe their diagnostics. Primary means treatment surgical with different techniques depending on size, presentation tumor other indications. review available literature also included.

Pelvic fractures represent approximately 3% of all skeletal injuries. About 15% patients with pelvic have associated bladder or urethral The most common causes fracture are motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle crashes, vehicles striking pedestrians, and falls.Retrospective study included the treated in Emergency Center, Clinical Center Serbia, Belgrade, between 2000 2009. Of 7445 patients, there were 894 injuries urinary tract 376 fractures; 55 (14.6%) had There 31 injuries, 22 two posterior...

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test represents the standard procedure in prostate cancer (CaP) diagnosis and follow-up. However, determination of PSA urine, where is present much higher concentrations than blood, still remains field research.To determine urinary (uPSA) different groups patients (pts.), to estimate it possible differentiate benign malignant diseases follow-up results treatment.Between January 2001. November 2003., were determined at 142 pts. divided seven groups: 1....

The Mainz pouch II is a well tolerated form of continent urinary diversion in terms morbidity, protection the upper tract and continence rate, even patients aged > 65 years. was described by Fisch Hohenfellner 1991. They viewed simplicity reproducibility operation as one its major advantages. A good rates between 93%-100% after this procedure has been shown previous studies. longer follow up will show whether these high can be maintained with increasing age. Pouch serves satisfying for both...

Bacground/Aim. The ileal neobladder should be a lowpressure reservoir with acceptable volume and relatively small resorptive surface. A larger inner surface of the pouch is associated high resorption urine metabolites through intestinal mucosa systemic metabolic disturbances, while too results in higher frequency voiding incontinency. aim this study was to investigate it possible create from shorter segment compared standard surgical techniques, reduce complications. Methods. This...

Objective: To estimate the value of urinary prostate specific antigen (uPSA) determination in monitoring cancer (PCa) patients. Material and methods: From January 2001 to December 2011, uPSA was determined 397 There were 265 patients with benign prostate, 19 prostatitis 113 cancer. Radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) performed at 65 patients, while 48 had PCa received antiandrogen therapy. Results: Average hyperplasia (BPH) 190.8+184.2 ng/mL. 287.5+303.4 ng/ml it not significantly...

The case of giant renal cyst measuring 30 cm, accompanied by abdominal swelling and erythrocytosis, is presented. A 45-year-old male presented with large mass, atrophic left kidney, hypertension, erythrocytosis. patient underwent multiple preoperative phlebotomies, open extirpation the cyst, nephrectomy. After surgery, erythrocytosis ceased completely, blood pressure became normal without any medications whereas function remaining kidney was stable. cysts more than 15 cm are extremely rare....

Introduction: Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) concentration in localized cancer (PCa) patients depends of numerous factors related to tumor, and the patient. Tumor include tumor volume, localization, growth rate aggressiveness. Prostate activity dihydrotestosterone (DHT) PSA synthesis. Host androgenic status total blood volume. Objective: discuss all possible that influence on serum levels PCa patients. To present mathematical model predicts Methods: Mathematical is based hypothesis...
