Enucleation of the prostate equips technology (usually laser) to effectively treat lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). The holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho: YAG) laser is considered the gold standard laser used to perform enucleation of the prostate. Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) reduces hospital stay and hemoglobin drop while improving International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and quality of life, as well as other postoperative outcomes. HoLEP has been found to have a better enucleation efficiency rate and may have better hemostatic properties when combined with the modulated pulsed laser energy featured associated with Moses technology (m-HoLEP). A novel laser technology called thulium fiber laser (TFL) delivers a pulsed laser at a more optimal wavelength and a shallower depth of tissue penetration leading to better hemostatic properties. However, the differences in clinical outcomes between TFL enucleation of the prostate (TFLEP) and m-HoLEP have yet to be described. This prospective study aims to compare the safety profile and clinical outcomes, peri-operatively up to one year post-operatively, between m-HoLEP and TFLEP with BPH and evidence of bladder obstruction.
This is a trial to demonstrate the superiority of prostate artery embolization (PAE) over sham procedure in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) induced lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The trial will aim to enroll 108 patients at a 2:1 allocation over a 2 year period.
Pulse diagnosis is one of the traditional diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine, which is of great significance in the process of disease diagnosis.Pulse diagnosis is the diagnosis of disease by touching the pulse of the radial artery at the wrist. Different diseases reflect different pulse characteristics.What we've found in long-term clinical observation is that patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia have something different in their pulse,the abnormal pulse we called "astringent pulse".There is no modern physiologic and pathological description on the occurrence of "astringent pulse" in traditional pulse science, so we study it from acoustics perspective.Our team thinks that every beat of the heart produces a vibration, which produces sound waves，the sound waves travel through the blood and eventually reflect off the arterial walls.When an organ(such as the prostate)，develops hyperplasia, local blood flow changes,the flow of blood, which should be laminar, changes and becomes turbulent，the conduction of sound waves in turbulence is disordered，so we end up with pulse features that are different from normal people that are reflected on the arterial wall. We have previously studied the pulse characteristics of chronic gastritis, coronary heart disease, cirrhosis and some other diseases，different pulse sounds were collected and analyzed using an independently developed Acoustic Pulse Detection System，the ideal results have been obtained.We found that most of the abnormal sound waves were between 20Hz and 500Hz, so we classified this sound wave as low frequency and audible sound wave.Based on the above analysis, this study will use the acoustic pulse detection system to collect the pulse images of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).We expected to collect the pulse waves of 62 patients and 62 relatively healthy people without BPH, and use Fourier transform, wavelet analysis and other analysis methods to study the characteristics of the collected sound waves, and observe the pulse characteristics of BPH disease.Then diagnostic tests were carried out to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of the acoustic pulse detection system in the diagnosis of BPH. This experiment will further verify the effectiveness of pulse diagnosis of diseases, and finally lay a foundation for the development of pulse diagnostic instrument can diagnose a variety of diseases.
Comparative analysis of efficacy and safety of Aquablation (AQUABEAM Robotic System®, PROCEPT BioRobotics, Redwood City, CA, USA) and transurethral laser enucleation as surgical therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia with large prostates (80-180ml).
Prostatic resection cavity stone post transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). A rare case scenario
The primary objective of the study is to compare Trans-Perineal Laser Ablation of Prostate versus Trans-Urethral Resection of Prostate in the immediate impact on post-operative pain; in terms of relief in benign prostatic obstruction and preservation of the ejaculatory function in the short term (at 1, 3 and 6 months). The secondary objective of the study is the evaluation of the long-term deobstructive effectiveness (12 months).
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an enlarged prostate gland from smooth muscle and glandular hyperplasia seen in the aging population with a prevalence of upto 90% in patients in the ninth decade. Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) are the most common presenting symptoms of BPH. Patients are initially evaluated with a complete history and physical exam to rule out other causes of LUTS and assess the severity of LUTS with scoring systems such as the American Urologic Association Symptom Index (AUASI) or the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). Patients with mild or no symptoms are treated with watchful waiting. Surgical procedure such as transurethral resection of the prostate and minimally invasive procedures such as microwave ablation and prostate artery embolization are performed in patients with failed medical management or patients who are not able to tolerate the side effects of the medications. Prostate artery embolization is a safe minimally invasive procedure shown to improve IPSS and quality of life with none or potential risk of minor complications shown in short, intermediate, and long term follow up.
For the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), 2 types of endoscopic surgery are currently performed: transurethral prostate resection (TPR), the reference surgery, and laser prostatic enucleation (LPE). These procedures can be performed under general anesthesia, or local anesthesia, such as spinal anesthesia. The EPL or RTUP procedure requires the instillation of continuous intra-vesical fluids throughout the procedure. These 3L bags are often kept at the ambient temperature of the operating room (around 17°C): the temperature of the instilled solution is therefore much lower than the average body temperature of the patient (37°C). Thus, and by heat exchange, it often results in per and postoperative hypothermia, which is all the more frequent and profound the longer the duration of the operation. In spite of the usual procedures of warming by heating blanket, the prevalence of hypothermia, defined as a body temperature < 36°C, is 53.5% during surgical procedures. This hypothermia is all the more frequent and profound the older the patient is and the longer the duration of anesthesia. Several studies have shown that hypothermia is particularly frequent during abdomino-pelvic surgery, notably due to pathophysiological phenomena induced by anesthetic procedures. Indeed, general anesthesia, or major locoregional anesthesia, disrupts the thermoregulation center upon anesthetic induction, with alteration of peripheral vasoconstriction and tremor capacity, leading to a rapid redistribution of body heat from the center to the periphery. Through exchanges with the environment, this results in a rapid linear decrease in central body temperature that exceeds the metabolic energy produced. However, anesthetic procedures are not the only cause of hypothermic intraoperative phenomena. It has been shown that the decrease in body temperature associated with most genitourinary endoscopic procedures is multifactorial, taking into account the patient's body mass, the volume of fluids instilled, and the type and duration of the operation.
This study is set up as a phase I-II prospective, single center, interventional pilot study carried in Office setting under local anesthesia. It will assess the impact in quality of life and adverse events produced by transperineal laser ablation of the prostate (TPLA) in men 40 to 85 years of age with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). BPH is currently managed with medications (ie, alpha-1 adrenergic medications) and/or invasive approaches such as transurethral resection of prostate or surgical excision of prostate - robotic or open lead to relaxation or excision of the bladder neck. Such alteration of the bladder neck function or anatomy portends a significant and noticeable change on a male lifestyle, represented by absence of antegrade ejaculation among others. This study aims to evaluate the use of TPLA in the office setting under local anesthesia - greatly decreasing patient perioperative surgical risk. Moreover, it aims to determine safety profile and outcomes from TPLA therapy The fundamental objective is to determine the feasibility and safety of TPLA in healthy men with LUTS due to BPH, successful performed in the outpatient office-based setting under local anesthesia. Secondary objectives include: 1-Uroflowmetry and Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) at three, six and 12 months; 2-Immediately spontaneous voiding post-TPLA; 3-Hematuria incidence after TPLA, measured by patient reporting; 4-LUTS after the treatment measured by IPSS; 5- Erectile function and presence of ejaculation after TPLA treatment and 6-Prostate volume changes using Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) volume measurements
