Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the safety and effectiveness of a specific prostate surgery (photoselective vaporization) for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in 229 patients over four years.
- The patients, mainly around 71 years old, experienced significant improvements in symptoms and urine flow shortly after the surgery, with a noticeable reduction in prostate size and issues like postvoid residual urine.
- The results indicated that this surgical method is generally safe, with minimal complications, and maintained positive outcomes for up to two years post-operation.
Objective: To compare the results of the management of the first 25 transperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomies with the first 25 retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomies performed by two surgeons who had just completed a laparoscopic training programme.
Methods: The retrospective study was conducted at Adana Numune Teaching and Research Hospital and comprised retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomies and transperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomies performed by two different surgeons on patients with proximal ureteral stones between November 2011 and March 2013. The transperitoneal and retroperitoneal procedures were categorised as Groups A and B, respectively.
Aim: To determine the impact of rectus fascial sling suspension at the time of radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) on postoperative continence status.
Patients And Methods: A total of 86 patients underwent RRP for clinically localized prostate cancer. Out of 86 patients, a rectus fascial sling procedure was incorporated into RRP in 40 randomly selected patients (group 1).
