Men with enlarged prostates commonly experience lower urinary tract symptoms and may go on to develop complications such as acute urinary retention (AUR). Surgery is the standard treatment option required to remove the enlarged prostates and to rectify such complications. Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) was first performed over 80 years ago and is still regarded as the "gold standard" for the treatment of benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) in prostates between 30 and 80ml. While TURP results in an improvement in symptoms, perioperative morbidity and long-term complications can include postoperative bleeding, urinary retention, incontinence, urethral strictures, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory dysfunction. Rezūm is a system uses water steam energy to remove the particular part of the prostate that enlarges and causes symptoms due to BPH. Rezum involves a radiofrequency (RF) generator system and an endoscopic device that is introduced into the body via the urethra. Radiofrequency energy from the generator will heat up a controlled amount of water inside the system and converting the water into vapour or steam. The thermal energy created outside the body is delivered into the prostate tissue through the tiny needle at the tip of the endoscopic device. Small amount of steam will then be injected into the tissue and energy will be released during the conversion of steam to water. The energy will heat up the prostate tissue and result in gradually removal of the targeted obstructive prostate tissue. The treatment procedure takes approximately 3-7 minutes and can be performed as day surgery. No radiofrequency energy is delivered into the body, other than the prostate. Throughout the procedure normal saline (salty water) is running into the urethra through the scope to help ensure better views and to prevent the urethra from overheating. Voiding symptom will gradually improve after the procedure. From clinical study based in Caucasian population, patients had improved urinary flow rate by on average 50% and also improvement in quality of life scores. The treatment results could last for at least 4 years. However, information regarding the use of Rezum in Chinese and Asian is lacking. This study is proposed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Rezum in our population.
C.L.E.A.R. Study is poised to compare the patient experience post procedure, including catheterization needs as well as retreatment and BPH medication rates following treatment with either the UroLift® System or Rezūm™ System through 12 months.
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the current standard procedure for men with prostate volume 30-80 gm. In case with large prostate adenoma (>80 g), the resection time required by TURP is associated with increased risk of TUR syndrome, blood loss and other complications. Many types of minimally invasive surgery exist along with new equipment and techniques. Many types of laser devices such as greenlight laser, thulium laser and holmium laser, are used to enucleate the prostate. Increasing evidence has proven their safety and efficacy However, the use of laser devices is difficult and associated with steep learning curve and high medical expenses. PKEP is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of bladder obstruction secondary to BPH. This procedure not only improves maximum flow rate at 3 and 12 months after surgery, but it also improves all other recorded parameters (IPSS, QOL, IEFF-5, PVR, PSA). A button electrode can be effectively used to enucleate the prostate because of its powerful vaporisation and strong coagulation (B-TUEP technique) ,such as that with a holmium laser, thulium laser and greenlight laser. However its associated with short term complication as early irritative symptoms, Bulai reported that 16.7% of the patients suffering from early irritative symptoms while Geavlete reported that 11.4% of patient suffering from early irritative symptoms.
The objectives of the trial are to demonstrate the safety and performance of the Zenflow Spring System in relieving the symptoms of obstructive Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
A dual-arm prospective, interventional clinical trial to evaluate the safety and performance of obtaining hemostasis with catheters along with the use or absence of a hemostatic agent following treatment with the AQUABEAM System.
This study describes a single center, randomized, single-blinded clinical trial to assess the clinical benefits of the use of near infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) detection with an FDA-cleared device 'Parathyroid Eye (PTeye)' for identifying parathyroid glands (PGs) during parathyroidectomy (PTx) procedures. It compares risk-benefits and outcomes in PTx patients where NIRAF detection with PTeye for parathyroid identification is either used or not used.
The study will assess the performance of the combined system, i.e., the use of the EsoGuard assay (lab developed test) on cells collected using the EsoCheck (501k cleared device) to detect Barrett's Esophagus (BE), with or without dysplasia, and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) as compared to Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) plus biopsies in both confirmed cases of BE/EAC and in controls (subjects without a prior diagnosis but undergoing screening for BE/EAC)
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is the most common inherited disorder in the adrenal gland in children. Growth is usually affected in CAH patients either due to the disease itself or treatment consequences.
The study is being conducted to learn why some patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) do not respond to a commonly used treatment drug, Finasteride. The hope is to find ways to predict which patients will not respond to Finasteride so that, in the future, these patients can be identified prior to offering this treatment and they can be offered alternative treatment strategies in its place. The aim is to see if noninvasive techniques such as MRI can detect inflammation of the prostate to assist with early detection of those who will and who will not respond to Finasteride.
