Filter by:Prostate adenoma or benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is a benign disease of the prostate gland. It results in an increase in the volume of the prostate area located in contact with the urethra. Compression of the prostatic urethra by the adenoma can cause lower urinary tract disorders. The classic treatments in case of failure of medical treatment are endoscopic resection of the prostate and adenomectomy, but these techniques are characterized by a significant hemorrhagic risk that may require transfusions and prolonged hospitalization. Minimally invasive treatments with low morbidity have been developed to overcome these drawbacks. They allow to propose a therapeutic solution adapted to patients: not tolerating their medical treatment, wishing to keep antegrade ejaculation, elderly and/or frail, at risk of bleeding, wishing an ambulatory treatment, refusing the conventional surgical techniques. The Focal One® device was developed to treat prostate cancer using ultrasound energy. This energy is delivered through a probe placed in your rectum. Connected to this probe, an ultrasound machine will allow your doctor to see precisely which part of your prostate is being treated. By heating the prostate tissue to a very high temperature in one treatment session, the energy delivered will then destroy the tissue. Ultrasound guidance coupled with the localized nature of the treatment allows the targeted area to be treated while respecting the prostate tissue and structures adjacent to the prostate and thus reducing side effects. Treatment of prostate adenoma with HIFU would allow for localized destruction to reduce prostate volume. The reduction of the compression of the prostatic urethra thus obtained would allow an improvement of the urinary disorders. The treatment is performed transrectally under real-time ultrasound control, which allows the adjacent structures to be respected, thus preserving antegrade ejaculation and limiting the side effects.
Investigation of the efficacy and safety of the stable combination of dutasteride and tamsulosin (Dinaplex®) in the Greek population as well as the evaluation of the quality of life of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in treatment with a stable combination of dutasteride and tamsulosin (Dinaplex®)
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
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.
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).
Prostatic urethral lift (Urolift) has been developed as a minimally invasive alternative to transurethral resection of the prostate with no need of general anaesthesia, less need of urinary catheter and less exposure to post-operative complication. Its efficacy and safety have been assessed by 2 clinical randomized trials with evidence of urinary symptom improvement remaining inferior to TURP but durable for 5 years. Urolift preserved overall quality of life better than TURP. Urolift has been recommended by the European Association of Urology guidelines and recognized by French authorities but cannot be financed by the hospital itself. Reimbursement of the implants by healthcare system is therefore needed for the distribution of Urolift in France. The additional cost of the implants could be compensated by a reduced length of hospital stay and a lower rate of post-operative complications inducing healthcare expenditures. This study aims to assess if Urolift could be a cost-effective therapeutic strategy compared to transurethral surgery with 2 phases design: a field study comparing patients treated with Urolift to those treated with TURP/laser during 1 year follow-up, and an additional study comparing healthcare consumptions during 3 years follow-up between each group using data of the French National Claims Database (SNDS database).
A post-market, non-interventional, two-arm, long-term follow-up study of patients previously enrolled in the WATER Study (NCT02505919) - which was a prospective multi-centre randomized blinded study comparing Aquablation of the prostate with the AQUABEAM Robotic System with standard transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
The ProArc Medical Omega system is a prostatic reshaping device that is designed to treat Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) due to BPH. During the procedure an implant is delivered into the prostate tissue obstructing the urethra and restricting urine flow. The delivery system uses a static diathermy incision mechanism to make a circumferential incision in the tissue surrounding the prostatic urethra into which the Omega shaped permanent implant is placed. The implant expands the obstructed area, reducing the fluid obstruction through the prostatic urethra.
