Filter by:Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a surgical procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). HoLEP involves the removal of obstructive prostatic tissue via an endoscopic approach to relieve bothersome urinary symptoms. HoLEP is recommended by the American Urological Association (AUA) as a size-independent treatment for BPH. While the surgery is highly durable and versatile, post-operative stress urinary incontinence (SUI) has been reported following HoLEP, up to 44%. Pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) is a therapeutic strategy with low cost and risk to patients used to treat SUI following prostate surgery. However, data on the efficacy of conducting PFPT prior to HoLEP in minimizing or eliminating post-operative urinary incontinence is limited. The investigators will recruit patients who have already agreed to undergo HoLEP for this study. Participants will be randomized into two groups: The intervention group will begin standardized PFPT before surgery and will continue PFPT after surgery, and the second group will begin PFPT after surgery only (current practice). Both groups will continue with PFPT following surgery until urinary continence is regained. Investigators will compare the time required to regain urinary continence and patient-reported outcomes between the two groups.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate prostate artery embolization (PAE) compared to Holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) in improving a patient's overall prostate related symptoms.
To compare intraoperative as well as postoperative outcomes of SOLTIVE Thulium Fiber Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (ThuFLEP) vs Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate. Our hypothesis is that utilizing the SOLTIVE Thulium laser enucleation of the prostate will result in a more efficient procedure, comparable results to that of Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate and subjective improvement of prior device limitations
To Evaluate and compare the outcome and coast of ejaculation sparing management of BPH using 3 different techniques: PVP, PKVP and TURP. Ejaculation sparing TURP group is considered the standard control group. Evaluation will be carried out through a prospective randomized powered trial
Benign prostate obstruction (BPO) can be treated with a range of laser treatments using different laser systems and applications. Transurethral laser treatment is considered to be an alternative treatment to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The latest guidelines of the European Association of Urology recommend 532-nm GreenLight laser vaporisation of the prostate and thulium laser enucleation as alternatives to TURP. For further investigation of the efficacy of GreenLight and thulium laser in treating BPH, the investigators organize a prospective randomised control study. The investigators will enrol 100 patients with BPO, treated with either GreenLight laser or thulium laser prostatectomy, and compare their safety and efficacy.
Autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRC) will be extracted from lipoaspirate by enzymatic digestion from a portion of the fat harvested from the patient's front abdominal wall. Transurethral bladder neck resection followed by the injection of ADRCs suspension will be performed. This is a single arm study with no control. All patients receive cell therapy.
Hypothesis: Dutasteride will perform better than finasteride in decreasing prostate volume, improving symptoms based on International Prostate Symptom score,and lower pvr based on the scientific information that dutasteride inhibits both Type I and II 5-alpha-reducatase vs. finasteride which only inhibits the Type II enzyme
