Filter by:This study was created to determine the safety and efficacy of treating prostatic hyperplasia with or without prominent median lobe enlargement with the REZUM technique. The systematic implementation of decisions for the location, vapor time, and the number of injections contributes to the Rezum procedure configuration for the median lobe treatment being safer and standardizer.
Background: Men who are treated for prostate cancer often develop urinary leakage (incontinence). An experimental device that uses electrical impulses to stimulate pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissues may help. Objective: To see if the Elidah device can reduce urinary incontinence after prostate treatment. Eligibility: Men aged 18 years and older who have had moderate urinary incontinence for at least 6 months after treatment for prostate cancer. Design: Participants will be in the study for about 9 weeks. They will be screened. They will have a physical exam with urine tests. The Elidah device consists of a Controller and a GelPad. The Controller sets the strength of electrical impulses. The GelPad is placed against the skin under the pelvis. Participants will be given an Elidah device and taught how to use it at home. They will use the device once a day for 20 minutes at a time; they will do this 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Participants will complete a daily log. They will record the strength of electrical impulses (0-35); the number of incontinence episodes; the type of incontinence episode; and the number of used pads. Participants will do a pad weight test. For 3 days before and 3 days after using the Elidah device, they will collect all of their used pads for each 24-hour period into a sealed plastic bag. They will also collect a second set of bags that contain dry versions of each product used. Participants will have clinic visits after using the device for 3 weeks and after finishing the 6 weeks of treatment. Participants will complete 15-minute questionnaires.
To evaluate postoperative outcomes of BPH/Lower urinary tract symptoms, erectile function, and ejaculatory capacity of simultaneous UroLiftTM and Holmium laser enucleation of the prostatic median lobe.
RT-310, a novel implant, is intended to minimally invasive treat locally the prostate gland for the management of prostate disease, while minimizing side-effects. The objectives of the study are to assess whether RT-310 is safe and feasible for the participant population.
This is a prospective, single center translational multiple cohort study to investigate the association of gut microbiota and prostate cancer.
The present work aimed to compare between The Outcomes of conventional technique of laser prostatectomy versus the new ejaculatory sparing technique .
Specific Aim 1. To evaluate the efficacy of TNF antagonist action in BPH/LUTS Specific Aim 2. Define the consequences of TNF antagonist therapy on prostate tissue Specific Aim 3. Identify genetic predictors to stratify patients with differential response to TNF-antagonist therapy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the performance and safety of the AQUABEAM Robotic System for the resection and removal of prostate tissue in patients experiencing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and are diagnosed with localized prostate cancer. Participants will go through baseline and follow up assessments up to 12 months.
Despite the high-quality evidence supporting the safety and efficacy of Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HOLEP), wide adoption of the procedure is hindered by learning difficulties. Veil-sparing HOLEP was popularized with a standardized approach to learning. Prospective multicenter assessment of the learning curve of HoLEP through a novel technique with structured learning protocol. Learning outcome measures will be assessed against time and number of performed cases of new learners in a multicenter study.
PROMED is a prospective, single center translational multiple cohort study to investigate the association of prostate medication and gut microbiota. The main aim is to investigate how prostate hormonal therapy (5-ARI, ADT) affects gut microbiota composition. Aalso study metabolic characteristics in the gut and systemic circulation in men with different medications will be studied. In addition, the effect of gut microbiota on patient's response to medications will be investigated. The medicines used in the study to treat benign prostate hyperplasia are dutasteride and finasteride and a combination of dutasteride and tamsulosin. LHRH antagonist degarelix is used as a medication to treat patients with cancer. The dosages of 5-ARI medication: dutasteride 0,5mg x1 or finasteride 5mg x1 or combination of dutasteride and tamsulosin 0,5/0,4mg x1. The starting dose of LHRH antagonist degarelix is 120mgx2 and the maintenance dose is 80mgx1. The medication for PCa is planned according to the protocol but so that each subject receives degarelix at the beginning of treatment and one month after initiation. Thereafter, the medication is continued according to the clinician's assessment. The study is carried out in Turku University Hospital and University of Turku.
