Larger Prostates Up Odds of Converting From HoLEP to Open Prostatectomy
The likelihood of conversion from HoLEP to an open procedure to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia increases along with prostate size.
Erectile Dysfunction Linked to Prostate Zonal Volume in BPH Patients
Investigators found a significant positive correlation between transitional zone index (TZI) and IPSS and a significant negative correlation between TZI and both the International Index of Erectile Function and penile peak systolic velocity.
Aquablation, TURP Offer Similar Long-Term Outcomes
Aquablation therapy is associated with 3-year outcomes similar to those of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms related to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), according to a new study. At 3 years, men who underwent Aquablation—a minimally invasive procedure in which a high-velocity waterjet is used to resect…
Adding Tamsulosin to Tadalafil May Benefit ED Sufferers With LUTS
In a prospective trial of men with erectile dysfunction and lower urinary tract symptoms, tadalafil plus tamsulosin achieved greater improvements in maximum urinary flow rates and voiding symptoms.
Prazosin May Lower Prostate Cancer Recurrence Risk After Radiotherapy
LUTS treatment with the alpha-blocker prazosin was associated with significantly lower 2- and 5-year biochemical recurrence rates vs tamsulosin and non-use of alpha-blockers.
Male Bladder Bacteria, LUTS Severity Linked
Lower urinary tract symptom severity in men is associated with detectable bacteria in urine obtained via catheter, new study suggests.
Aquablation Safe, Effective in LUTS Sufferers With Large Prostates
Significant improvements in symptoms, peak flow rate, and post-void residual volume observed in men with prostate volumes of 80 to 150 cc.
