Objectives: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of transurethral resection of the prostate on nocturia and sleep disorders in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic obstruction.
Methods: A prospective multicenter study including lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic obstruction patients with nocturia (twice or more) undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate was carried out. All patients were assessed using the International Prostate Symptom Score and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index at baseline, and 6 months after transurethral resection of the prostate.
Results: Overall, 49 patients were included in the study. A total of 20 of them (41%) had a sleep disorder defined as a score of 5.5 or more on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index global score. The nocturia score significantly correlated with component 4 of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (habitual sleep efficiency). Nocturia significantly decreased after transurethral resection of the prostate from 3.0 ± 1.2 to 1.9 ± 0.8, whereas the global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score did not. In 20 patients with a sleep disorder before transurethral resection of the prostate, subjective sleep quality (component 1) and habitual sleep efficiency (component 4) significantly decreased after transurethral resection of the prostate, but this was not the case for the global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score. In 16 patients with a persistent sleep disorder after transurethral resection of the prostate, International Prostate Symptom Score, voiding and storage symptoms score were higher than those of patients without a sleep disorder, although the nocturia score improved equivalently in both groups.
Conclusions: Transurethral resection of the prostate diminishes nocturnal urinary frequency and partly improves sleep quality in patients with nocturia and lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic obstruction. A persistent sleep disorder after transurethral resection of the prostate is associated with persistent voiding and storage symptoms.

Introduction And Aim: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the enlargement and overgrowth of the prostate leading to the compression of the urethra and resulting in obstruction to the outflow of urine. Prostatic urethral lift (UroLift) is a budding minimally invasive technique that utilises mechanical manipulation of the prostate tissue so that the urethra is free from compression, thereby creating a channel for the outflow of urine. The aim of the audit was to assess the short- to medium-term outcomes in our centre in terms of improvement in symptoms, quality of life (QoL) and complication rates.

Background: The role of repeat transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) for the management of nonmuscle invasive bladder carcinoma is debated, especially when initial resections include detrusor muscle. This study compares immediate second resection (additional deep biopsies in the same session) with standard restage TURBT performed 2-6 weeks post-initial TURBT to determine adequacy in detrusor muscle sampling and compare the disease rate at restage TURBT in both groups.
Material And Methods: A randomized trial was conducted at a tertiary care hospital, including patients aged ≥18 years undergoing TURBT with complete primary tumor resection.
Cost-utility analysis of MR imaging-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation for the treatment of low- to intermediate-risk localised prostate cancer.

Background: Magnetic resonance-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (MR-TULSA) is a new focal therapy for treating localised prostate cancer that is associated with fewer adverse effects (AEs) compared with established treatments. To support large-scale clinical implementation, information about cost-effectiveness is required.
Objective: To evaluate the cost-utility of MR-TULSA compared with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and active surveillance (AS) for patients with low- to favourable intermediate-risk localised prostate cancer.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, recurrence rates, and safety profile of intravesical gemcitabine plus docetaxel versus standard Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy for treating naïve non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), focusing on reducing recurrence and progression concerns associated with transurethral resection (TURBT).
Methods: Relevant articles were identified and appraised through a structured assessment of the literature. Databases searched included PubMed, Medline, Scopus, and Science Direct.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the outcomes of bladder preservation therapy combining maximal TURBT and neoadjuvant chemotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients.
- A total of 110 patients were treated, with 61 achieving noninvasive downstaging, allowing them to preserve their bladders.
- The findings indicated that bladder preservation therapy had comparable survival rates to radical cystectomy, but more research is necessary to confirm these results due to the retrospective nature of the study.
