RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To evaluate complications and urinary incontinence (UI) after endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (EEP) stratified by prostate volume (PV). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who underwent EEP with different energy sources in 14 centers (January 2019-January 2023). INCLUSION CRITERIA: prostate volume ≥ 80 ml. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: prostate cancer, previous prostate/urethral surgery, pelvic radiotherapy. PRIMARY OUTCOME: complication rate. SECONDARY OUTCOMES: incidence of and factors affecting postoperative UI. Patients were divided into 3 groups. Group 1: PV = 80-100 ml; Group 2 PV = 101-200 ml; Group 3 PV > 200 ml. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate independent predictors of overall incontinence. RESULTS: There were 486 patients in Group 1, 1830 in Group 2, and 196 in Group 3. The most commonly used energy was high-power Holmium laser followed by Thulium fiber laser in all groups. Enucleation, morcellation, and total surgical time were significantly longer in Group 2. There was no significant difference in overall 30-day complications and readmission rates. Incontinence incidence was similar (12.1% in Group 1 vs. 13.2% in Group 2 vs. 11.7% in Group 3, p = 0.72). The rate of stress and mixed incontinence was higher in Group 1. Multivariable regression analysis showed that age (OR 1.019 95% CI 1.003-1.035) was the only factor significantly associated with higher odds of incontinence. CONCLUSIONS: PV has no influence on complication and UI rates following EEP. Age is risk factor of postoperative UI.

INTRODUCTION: Men with detrusor underactivity (DUA) and concomitant bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) due to benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) may present poorer functional outcomes after surgical desobstruction. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BPE surgery in men with DUA compared with those with normal detrusor contractility (NC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This review was performed according to the 2020 PRISMA framework. A comprehensive literature search was performed until May 7, 2023, using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Database. No date limits were imposed. Only comparative studies were accepted. The primary endpoint was to assess if there was any difference in short- and long-term functional outcomes after BPE surgery in men with DUA and NC. The secondary endpoint was to evaluate the differences in perioperative outcomes and postoperative complications between the two groups. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager (RevMan) software. RESULTS: There were 5 prospective nonrandomized studies and 12 retrospective studies, including 1701 DUA and 1993 NC patients. Regarding surgical procedures, there were eight TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) studies, four GreenLight PVP (photoselective vaporization of the prostate) studies, two HoLEP (Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate) studies, one GreenLight PVP/HoLEP study, one Holmium laser incision of the prostate study, and one study did not report the type of surgery. We did not find a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of perioperative outcomes, including postoperative catheterization time, hospitalization time, urinary retention, need to recatheterization, transfusion rate, or urinary tract infections. Also, we found no significant differences in long-term complications, such as bladder neck stenosis or urethral stenosis. Posttreatment bladder recatheterization and retreatment rate for BPE regrowth could not be evaluated properly, because only one study reported these findings. When we analyzed functional outcomes at 3 months, those with NC had lower International Prostatic Symptom Score (IPSS), lower quality-of-life (QoL) score, better maximum flow rate (Qmax), and lower post-voiding residual (PVR) of urine. These results were maintained at 6 months postoperatively, with exception of PVR that showed no difference. However, at 12 and more than 12 months the functional outcomes became similar regarding IPSS and QoL. There were few data about Qmax and PVR at longer follow-up. CONCLUSION: In this meta-analysis, data suggest that BOO surgical treatment in patients with concomitant BPE and DUA appears to be safe. Despite patients with DUA may present worse functional outcomes in the short postoperative term compared with the NC population, IPSS and QoL scores become comparable again after a longer follow-up period after surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To compare long-term reoperation rate and functional outcomes between EEP (endoscopic enucleation of the prostate) and TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate). EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A systematic literature review of Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science was conducted with primary outcome assessed being reoperation rate and secondary outcomes after a long term (> 3 years) being functional outcomes or related values (prostate volume, PSA level, etc.). EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: Five studies were found with long-term follow-up 4-7 years. EEP reoperation rate ranged from 0 to 1.27%, while from 1.7 to 17.6% for TURP. Meta-analysis showed significantly lower OR for EEP, 0.27 (95% CI 0.24-0.31), with notable homogeneity of the results, I2 = 0%. Long-term Qmax and IPSS were significantly better for EEP. Qmax pooled mean difference was 1.79 (95% CI 1.72-1.86) ml/s with a high concordance among the studies, I2 = 0%. IPSS mean difference -1.24 (95% CI - 1.28 to - 1.2) points, I2 = 57% but QoL did not differ, with mean difference being 0.01 (95% CI - 0.02 to 0.04), I2 = 0%. IIEF-5 score was also significantly better for EEP, mean difference 1.08 (95% CI 1.03-1.13), but heterogeneity was high, I2 = 70%. PSA level and prostate volume were only reported in one study and favored EEP slightly yet statistically significant. CONCLUSION: EEP had a significantly lower reoperation rate and better functional outcomes (Qmax and IPSS) at long term compared with TURP. It may also be beneficial in terms of IIEF-5, PVR, and PSA level.

PURPOSE: Hypocitraturia is a low urinary excretion of citrate and a well-known risk factor for kidney stone development in children. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the dietary management of hypocitraturia in children with urolithiasis. METHODS: Literature search was performed on 30th September 2022 using Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane Central Controlled Register of Trials. Studies were included if children with stones and hypocitraturia were managed with diet supplements. RESULTS: Six papers were included. Four studies evaluated the role of oral potassium citrate associated with high fluid intake on stone resolution and recurrence. Two studies assessed the impact of oral potassium citrate on long-term stone recurrence after percutaneous nephrolithotomy and shock wave lithotripsy. All studies demonstrated that the association of potassium citrate and high fluid intake was well tolerated with no side effects and restored normal urine citrate excretion, allowed a reduction in stone size, and, following definitive treatments, was associated with a lower rate of stone regrowth and recurrence compared with controls. These effects were demonstrated across all pediatric ages. CONCLUSIONS: Our review infers that oral potassium citrate and high fluid assumption are safe and effective in restoring urine citrate excretion, treating and preventing stone recurrence with no serious adverse events, and should probably be the first-line treatment of pediatric patients with asymptomatic stones and hypocitraturia.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the oncological impact and adverse events of performing simultaneous transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURB) and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), as evidence on the outcomes of simultaneous TURB for bladder cancer and TURP for obstructive benign prostatic hyperplasia is limited and contradictory. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients from 12 European hospitals treated with either TURB alone or simultaneous TURB and TURP (TURB+TURP) were retrospectively analysed. A propensity score matching (PSM) 1:1 was performed with patients from the TURB+TURP group matched to TURB-alone patients. Associations between surgery approach with recurrence-free (RFS) and progression-free (PFS) survivals were assessed in Cox regression models before and after PSM. We performed a subgroup analysis in patients with risk factors for recurrence (multifocality and/or tumour size >3 cm). RESULTS: A total of 762 men were included, among whom, 76% (581) underwent a TURB alone and 24% (181) a TURB+TURP. There was no difference in terms of tumour characteristics between the groups. We observed comparable length of stay as well as complication rates including major complications (Clavien-Dindo Grade ≥III) for the TURB-alone vs TURB+TURP groups, while the latest led to longer operative time (P < 0.001). During a median follow-up of 44 months, there were more recurrences in the TURB-alone (47%) compared to the TURB+TURP group (28%; P < 0.001). Interestingly, there were more recurrences at the bladder neck/prostatic fossa in the TURB-alone group (55% vs 3%, P < 0.001). TURB+TURP procedures were associated with improved RFS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.29-0.53; P < 0.001), but not PFS (HR 1.63, 95% CI 0.90-2.98; P = 0.11). Within the PSM cohort of 254 patients, the simultaneous TURB+TURP was still associated with improved RFS (HR 0.33, 95% CI 0.22-0.49; P < 0.001). This was also true in the subgroup of 380 patients with recurrence risk factors (HR 0.41, 95% CI 0.28-0.62; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: In our contemporary cohort, simultaneous TURB and TURP seems to be an oncologically safe option that may, even, improve RFS by potentially preventing disease recurrence at the bladder neck and in the prostatic fossa.

Objective: To perform a systematic review to assess the incidence of transient (<6 months) and persistent (>6 months) stress urinary incontinence (SUI), urge urinary incontinence (UUI), and mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) after transurethral surgeries for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Materials and Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science. We included studies comparing monopolar (M)/bipolar (B) transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) vs ablation vs enucleation procedures. Incidence of incontinence was assessed using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Method and reported as odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (CI), and p-values. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05 Evidence Synthesis: Twenty-eight studies were included. Incidence of transient SUI was 4.6%, 6.0%, 3.0%, and 2.4% after ablation, enucleation, M-TURP, and B-TURP, respectively. Incidence of persistent SUI was 1.1% after ablation, 1.7% after enucleation and M-TURP, and 1.0% after B-TURP. Incidence of transient UUI was 2.0%, 7.3%, 4.4%, and 2.8% after ablation, enucleation, M-TURP, and B-TURP, respectively. Incidence of persistent UUI was 2.2% after M-TURP. The incidence of transient MUI was 5.1%, 0.8%, 5.4%, and 0.9% after ablation, enucleation, M-TURP, and B-TURP, respectively. Incidence of persistent MUI was 3.1% after ablation and 4.8% after M-TURP. Incidence of transient and persistent SUI and UUI did not differ after TURP vs enucleation. Incidence of transient (OR 3.32, 95% CI 0.41-26.65, p = 0.26) and persistent SUI (OR 4.79, 95% CI 0.52-43.89, p = 0.17) was not significantly higher after ablation. Incidence of transient UUI was not significantly higher after ablation (OR 2.62, 95% CI 0.04-166.01, p = 0.65), whereas persistent UUI did not differ. Incidence of transient MUI was significantly higher after enucleation (OR 3.26, 95% CI 1.51-7.05, p = 0.003). Incidence of transient and persistent MUI did not differ after TURP vs ablation. Conclusions: Ablation, enucleation, and TURP have an impact on all forms of incontinence, but this is transient in most cases with no difference between the groups, except for MUI, which was higher after enucleation vs M-TURP.

We aim to report the short-term outcomes of patients undergoing Rezum as a re-treatment intervention for recurrent lower urinary tract symptoms after prior surgical treatment for benign prostate enlargement. Data from two institutions for baseline International Prostatic Symptom Score with Quality of life item, prostate size, and maximum flow-rate was acquired. Patients were assessed 3-month post-treatment. Outcomes were compared with unpaired t-tests and Fisher's exact tests. Nineteen patients were included. Prior surgical interventions included transurethral resection of the prostate (31.6%, n = 6), Urolift (26.3%, n = 5), transurethral bladder neck incision (15.8%, n = 3), prostate artery embolization (10.5%, n = 2), transurethral needle ablation, greenlight photovaporization of prostate and Rezum (5.3%, n = 1 each). Median age was 69.0 years (IQR 14; range 59-87 years) with a median prostate volume of 65.0 ml (IQR 63; range 22-160 ml). The median time to Rezum treatment was 48 months (IQR 78; range 9-240 months). 63.1% (n = 12) were re-started on benign prostatic enlargement medication and 36.8% (n = 7) had recurrent bothersome symptoms before re-treatment with Rezum. At 3-month follow up, median International Prostatic Symptom Score decreased from 23 to 9 (p < 0.001) and Quality of life from 4 to 2 (p < 0.001). Median maximum flow-rate improved after treatment from 8.6 to 14.8 ml/s (p < 0.001). None of the patients were required to restart medication for benign prostate enlargement.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: This systematic review aims to evaluate the incidence and influencing factors of urethral stricture (US) in relation to different BPH endoscopic techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a systematic literature review using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Controlled Register of Trials. The incidence of US was estimated through comparative studies between different endoscopic techniques. Patients were assigned into groups according to the type of surgery (enucleation, ablation and resection group). Incidences of US were pooled using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Method with the random effect model and reported as Risk Ratio (RR), 95% Confidence Intervals (CI), and p-values. RESULTS: A total of 80 studies were included for meta-analysis. The pooled incidence of US was 1.7% after enucleation, 2.1% after ablation, 3.8% after monopolar (M)-TURP and 2.1% after bipolar (B)-TURP. The incidence of US was significantly lower after Enucleation than after TURP (RR 0.58 95% CI 0.39-0.84, p = 0.004). US incidence was lower for Ablation procedures than TURP, but the difference did not reach significance (RR 0.79 95% CI 0.61-1.3, p = 0.08). However, this was significant in the subgroup of M-TURP studies (RR 0.67, 95% CI, 0.49-0.91, p = 0.01). Sub-analysis showed that the risk of US was significantly lower after Enucleation than after TURP within 12 months after surgery (RR 0.51 95% CI 0.33-0.81, p = 0.004). CONCLUSION: The study shows an increased incidence of US after TURP compared to enucleation and ablation procedures. The main factors related to increased US incidence are the use of monopolar energy, instrument caliber and duration of postoperative catheterization.

Urinary bladder cancer is a common cancer worldwide. Currently, the modality of treating and monitoring bladder cancer is wide. Nonetheless, the high recurrence rate of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer after surgical resection is still unsatisfactory. Hereby, our study demonstrated whether the intra-operative and post-operative environments will affect bladder cancer recurrence utilizing in vitro cell line model. Bladder cancer cell lines were submerged in four different irrigating fluids for assessing their tumorigenic properties. Our results showed that sterile water performed the best in terms of the magnitude of cytotoxicity to cell lines. Besides, we also investigated cytotoxic effects of the four irrigating agents as well as mitomycin C (MMC) in normothermic and hyperthermic conditions. We observed that sterile water and MMC had an increased cytotoxic effect to bladder cancer cell lines in hyperthermic conditions. Altogether, our results could be translated into clinical practice in the future by manipulating the intra-operative and post-operative conditions in order to lower the chance of residual cancer cells reimplant onto the bladder, which in turns, reducing the recurrence rate of bladder cancers.

BACKGROUND: Among various clinicopathologic factors used to identify low-risk upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), tumor grade and stage are of utmost importance. The clinical value added by inclusion of other risk factors remains unproven. OBJECTIVE: To assess the performance of a tumor grade- and stage-based (GS) model to identify patients with UTUC for whom kidney-sparing surgery (KSS) could be attempted. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: In this international study, we reviewed the medical records of 1240 patients with UTUC who underwent radical nephroureterectomy. Complete data needed for risk stratification according to the European Association of Urology (EAU) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines were available for 560 patients. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine if risk factors were associated with the presence of localized UTUC. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of the GS, EAU, and NCCN models in predicting pathologic stage were calculated. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Overall, 198 patients (35%) had clinically low-grade, noninvasive tumors, and 283 (51%) had ≤pT1disease. On multivariable analyses, none of the EAU and NCCN risk factors were associated with the presence of non-muscle-invasive UTUC among patients with low-grade and low-stage UTUC. The GS model exhibited the highest accuracy, sensitivity, and negative predictive value among all three models. According to the GS, EAU, and NCCN models, the proportion of patients eligible for KSS was 35%, 6%, and 4%, respectively. Decision curve analysis revealed that the net benefit of the three models was similar within the clinically reasonable range of probability thresholds. CONCLUSIONS: The GS model showed favorable predictive accuracy and identified a greater number of KSS-eligible patients than the EAU and NCCN models. A decision-making algorithm that weighs the benefits of avoiding unnecessary kidney loss against the risk of undertreatment in case of advanced carcinoma is necessary for individualized treatment for UTUC patients. PATIENT SUMMARY: We assessed the ability of three models to predict low-grade, low-stage disease in patients with cancer of the upper urinary tract. No risk factors other than grade assessed on biopsy and stage assessed from scans were associated with better prediction of localized cancer. A model based on grade and stage may help to identify patients who could benefit from kidney-sparing treatment of their cancer.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In the recent two decades, technological breakthrough has tremendously expanded the scope of transurethral prostate surgery. New gadgets and energy devices keep emerging to tackle benign prostatic obstruction, which was dealt with mainly by transurethral resection of prostate in the old days. Although this trend appears fascinating, it also means that urologists need quality training to attain surgical safety in performing these new surgeries. E-learning and simulation training may play an important role in modern urology training. RECENT FINDINGS: In this review, we would describe, using up-to-date evidence, the key components of simulation training, the types of simulators currently in use and their respective advantages and limitations. SUMMARY: Modern simulation technology enables surgical training in a realistic, reproducible and risk-free environment. Simulation training has been proven to improve both performers' confidence and objective scores in various transurethral prostate surgeries. Its use should therefore be advocated.

PURPOSE: Bladder neck stenosis (BNS) is a long-term complication of surgical procedures for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We performed a systematic literature review and a meta-analysis of the incidence of BNS after transurethral procedures for BPH. METHODS: We performed a systemic literature review using MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Controlled Register of Trials. We accepted only randomized trials comparing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) vs. other transurethral surgery for BPH that were grouped in Ablation vs. Enucleation modalities. The incidences of BNS were pooled using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Method with the random effect model and expressed as Risk Ratios, 95% Confidence Intervals, and p values. Study heterogeneity was assessed utilizing the I2 value. RESULTS: 72 studies were identified for meta-analysis, 46 comparing TURP vs. Ablation and 26 TURP vs. Enucleation. The pooled incidence of BNS was 1.3% after TURP, 0.66% after enucleation and 1.2% after Ablation. The incidence of BNS was higher after TURP than after Enucleation but the difference was not statistically significant (RR 1.75 95% CI 0.81-3.79, p = 0.16). There was no significant heterogeneity among the studies (I2 0%, Chi2 4.11, p = 0.90). The incidence of BNS was higher after TURP than after Ablation, but the difference was not statistically significant (RR 1.31, 95% CI 0.82-2.11, p = 0.26) with no significant heterogeneity (I2 0%, Chi2 21.1, p = 0.51). CONCLUSION: Our study showed no difference in the rate of BNS incidence among randomized trials comparing TURP vs. Ablation vs. Enucleation and can be used as a reference to counsel patients undergoing BPH surgery.

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare the incidences of post-operative pelvic pain (PPP) in patients undergoing ablation, enucleation and conventional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. Using MEDLINE via PubMed and Cochrane CENTRAL, randomised control trials (RCTs) and observational studies reporting PPP rates post-ablation, enucleation or TURP were identified. The risk of biases (RoB) in RCTs and observation studies were assessed using the Cochrane RoB1.0 tool and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, respectively. RESULTS: 62 studies were included for qualitative analysis, while 51 of them reported number of patients with PPP post-intervention. Three observational studies and 13 RCTs compared the rates of PPP in patients undergoing ablation, enucleation or TURP. The most reported types of PPP are dysuria, abdominal pain and irritative symptoms. The pooled incidence of PPP at 1-month follow-up in patients undergoing ablation, enucleation and TURP were 0.15 (95% CI 0.10-0.22), 0.09 (95% CI 0.04-0.19 and 0.10 (95% CI 0.06-0.15), respectively. PPP is no longer prevalent at 3-months and onwards post-operatively. Ablation is associated with a higher risk of PPP than enucleation (RR 2.19, 95% CI 1.04-4.62) and TURP (RR 2.40, 95% CI 1.03-5.62) in observational studies but not RCTs; and there were no significant differences in the rates of PPP upon comparison of other modalities. CONCLUSION: PPP is common after transurethral benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery. Patients undergoing ablation had a higher rate of post-intervention PPP than those undergoing enucleation and TURP in observational studies.

BACKGROUND: To investigate the feasibility of a freehand transperineal (TP) systematic prostate biopsy protocol under local anaesthesia (LA) and the value of different sectors in diagnosing prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS: A total of 611 consecutive freehand TP biopsies under LA in 2 hospitals were prospectively evaluated. Cancer detection rate in each of the four different sectors (anterior, mid, posterior, basal) was recorded to evaluate the value of each sector. Procedure tolerability was assessed by pain score and complications were documented. RESULTS: Systematic biopsies were performed in 556 out of 611 men with a median of 20 (IQR 12-24) biopsy cores taken. The median PSA was 9.9 (Inter-quartile range[IQR] 6.4-16.2) ng/mL, and 89.0% were first biopsies. All PCa and ISUP grade group (GG) ≥ 2 PCa (HGPCa) were diagnosed in 41.4% (230/556) and 28.2% (157/556) biopsies respectively. 77.0% HGPCa was diagnosed in ≥2 sectors. Single-sector HGPCa was predominantly found in anterior or posterior sector. Omitting base sector would have missed 1.5% (1/65) HGPCa out of the 219 cases with ≥24-core biopsies performed. Further omission of mid sector would have missed 3.1% (2/65) HGPCa and 7.4% (7/94) ISUP GG1 PCa (in which 3/7 involved 2 sectors). LA TP biopsy was well tolerated and the mean pain scores of the different steps of the procedure were between 1.9-3.1 (out of 10). Post-biopsy fever occurred in 0.3% of patients (2/611) and no sepsis was reported. The risk of urinary retention in men with ≥20 cores in ≥60 ml prostate was 7.8% (14/179), compared with 1.7% (7/423) in other groups (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: TP sectoral prostate biopsy under LA was well tolerated with minimal sepsis risk. Basal sector biopsies had minimal additional value to HGPCa detection and its omission can be considered.

Anatomical endoscopic enucleation of the prostate has been proposed as a potentially superior benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery than conventional transurethral resection of prostate. However, the learning curve of the procedure is steep, hence limiting its generalisability worldwide. In order to overcome the learning curve, a proper surgical training is extremely important. This review article discussed about various aspects of surgical training in anatomical endoscopic enucleation of the prostate. In summary, no matter what surgical technique or energy modality you use, the principle of anatomical enucleation should be followed. When one starts to perform prostate enucleation, a 50 to 80 g prostate appears to be the 'best case' to begin with. Mentorship is extremely important to shorten the learning curve and to prevent drastic complications from the procedure. A proficiency-based progression training programme with the use of simulation and training models should be the best way to teach and learn about prostate enucleation. Enucleation ratio efficacy is the preferred measure for assessing skill level and learning curve of prostate enucleation. Morcellation efficiency is commonly used to assess morcellation performance, but the importance of safety rather than efficiency must be emphasised.

The traditional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is considered as gold-standard surgical treatment to relieve symptoms resulting from bladder outlet obstruction by prostate enlargement. However, with the advances of novel laser technologies and more experienced surgeon conquering the steep learning curve, anatomical endoscopic enucleation of prostate (AEEP) has become a more popular alternative surgical technique. Although AEEP has compatible functional outcome, less blood loss, shorter catheterisation duration and hospital stay, the risk of post-operative urinary incontinence (UI) is often an issue of concern. In this review, we focus on discussion about risk factors related to increased incidence of UI, some surgical tips to avoid damaging external urinary sphincter and treatment strategies to facilitate recovery of urinary continence after surgery.

It is largely unknown whether lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) or acute retention of urine (AROU) is linked to shorter life expectancy in men. We conducted a multicenter, retrospective database analysis of patients undergoing transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) to study their relationships. Multivariate Cox regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier analysis with stratification to age and indication of TURP were performed. We further performed an age- and sex-matched survival analysis with the general population using data from the Census and Statistics Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Hong Kong, China). From January 2002 to December 2012, 3496 patients undergoing TURP were included in our study, with 1764 patients in the LUTS group and 1732 patients in the AROU group. Old age, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular accident, and AROU were risk factors of mortality. Patients aged <70 years (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11-2.09, P = 0.010) and 70-80 years (adjusted HR: 1.39, 95% CI: 1.15-1.70, P = 0.001) in the AROU group had worse survival than those in the LUTS group, but such difference was not demonstrated in patients aged >80 years. Compared to the general population, younger patients in the LUTS group appeared to have better survival (<70 years, P = 0.091; 70-80 years, P = 0.011), but younger patients in the AROU group had worse survival (<70 years, P = 0.021; 70-80 years, P = 0.003). For patients aged >80 years, survival was similar with the general population in both the LUTS and AROU groups. In conclusion, AROU at young age was associated with mortality, while early detection and management of LUTS may improve survival.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to establish the safety and efficacy profile of transurethral resection in saline (TURis) bipolar vaporization of the prostate relative to monopolar transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) and to test the hospital stay efficiency after TURis vaporization. MATERIALS AND METHODS: in this multicenter, double-blinded, prospective, randomized controlled trial, men aged 50-75 years old were randomized into two arms: TURis bipolar vaporization and monopolar TURP. Intraoperative details, perioperative parameters, and postoperative functional outcomes were assessed after intervention. Follow-up with symptom score assessment, prostate volume measurement, and uroflowmetry were performed at 3 and 6 months. RESULTS: Eighty-four patients (mean age, 65.0 ± 5.6 years) were randomized into each study arm. TURis bipolar vaporization had a longer operative time than monopolar TURP (51.6 ± 24.5 vs 38.5 ± 20.3 min, P < 0.001). Postoperatively, the TURis group had a shorter catheter time (33.6 ± 23.7 vs 40.8 ± 29.4 h, P = 0.013) and a shorter length of hospital stay (43.14 ± 18.79 vs 52.33 ± 30.58 h, P = 0.013). The postoperative dysuria score was higher in the TURis vaporization arm. There was no statistically significant difference between the two arms in terms of hemoglobin change and postoperative complication. No significant difference was observed in quality of life score at 3 and 6 months. CONCLUSIONS: TURis bipolar vaporization of the prostate is a safe and comparable alternative to monopolar TURP. It leads to a reduction in both catheter time and length of hospital stay.
