Introduction: Although conventional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is highly successful in improving urinary symptoms and flow rates, a higher incidence of loss of antegrade ejaculation has been reported. Therefore, we aimed at prospectively comparing the efficacy and outcomes of a novel dual bladder neck and supramontanal sparing TURP to conventional TURP to improve voiding and ejaculation.

Material And Methods: Between January 2019 and November 2020, all patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) satisfying the eligibility criteria underwent either conventional TURP (Group 1) or combined bladder neck and supramontanal sparing TURP (Group 2) after randomisation.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of tadalafil (a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor) compared to tamsulosin (an α-1 blocker) for treating distal ureteric stones, as part of medical expulsive therapy.
  • The research involved 207 patients with stones sized 5-10 mm, who were randomly assigned to receive either tadalafil or tamsulosin for up to 4 weeks, with various outcomes measured like stone expulsion rate and pain management.
  • Results indicated that tadalafil had a higher stone expulsion rate (84%) and a shorter expulsion time (14.7 days) than tamsulosin (68% rate, 16.8 days), along with better pain control
