The efficacy of antibiotic and alpha-blocker combination therapy versus antibiotic monotherapy in chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome: A systematic review.

Objectives: This study attempted to explore the efficacy of a combination of alpha-blockers and antibiotics compared with antibiotic monotherapy in patients with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS).

Methods: We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane/CENTRAL, EBSCOHost/CINAHL, ProQuest, and Scopus on January 2020. Randomized controlled trials comparing antibiotic monotherapy with combination therapy of antibiotics and alpha-blockers in CP/CPPS patients lasting at least 4 weeks were included.

The Role of 3D-Printed Phantoms and Devices for Organ-specified Appliances in Urology.
