RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of Greenlight 180W photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) and endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (GreenLEP) on ejaculatory and erectile functions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2014 and September 2016, 440 men with low urinary tract symptoms or complications related to benign prostate obstruction with prostate >80 g and sexually active, underwent a PVP or GreenLEP performed by experienced surgeons at a single institution. Patients were matched in a 1:1 fashion according to preoperative transrectal ultrasonography prostatic volume and cardiovascular risk factors (smoking, diabetes, and hypertension). RESULTS: One hundred patients in each group were included. Mean prostatic volume were 110 g (95%CI: 101-118) and 107 g (95%CI: 99-115) in the GreenLEP and PVP groups, respectively (Pâ¯=â¯.68). Mean total energy delivered in the PVP group was 4.42 kJ/g (4.2-4.6). Surgical retreatment was required in 9 patients (10.1%) in the PVP group and none in the GreenLEP group (log rank test: Pâ¯=â¯.002). Mean prostate specific antigen level and International Prostate Symptom Score score were significantly lower in the GreenLEP group than in the PVP group at 3, 12, and 24 months (P <.001). Preserved antegrade ejaculation was reported in 24 patients (26.9%) in the PVP group vs 1 patient (1.2%) in the GreenLEP group at 12 months (P <.001). In multivariate analysis, age, history of coronary artery disease, and surgical treatment with PVP were independent factors of IIEF-5 decline. CONCLUSION: Despite a poor rate of preserved antegrade ejaculation, GreenLEP was associated with better erectile function outcomes possibly due to greater improvement of low urinary tract symptoms.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between 5α-reductase inhibitor (5-ARI) use and high grade (Gleason score 8-10) prostate cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a population-based nested matched case-control study using the French national health insurance database linked to data from all pathology laboratories in Brittany, France. Among 74 596 patients with ≥1 drug reimbursement for symptomatic benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2011, 767 incident prostate cancer cases between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2013 were matched according to age and delay between the first observed delivery of drug for BPH (5-ARIs, α-blockers or phytotherapy) and diagnostic date of the case to five control patients, using an incidence density sampling design. RESULTS: A total of 963 patients (153 cases, 810 controls) had been exposed to 5-ARIs. A significant heterogeneity (P = 0.005) was detected across cancer grades when estimating the association between prostate cancer and long-term (≥2 years) 5-ARI use vs no 5-ARI exposure: adjusted conditional odds ratio 1.76 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.97-3.21) for Gleason score ≥8 and 0.64 (95% CI 0.44-0.93) for Gleason score < 8. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate an increased risk of high grade and a decreased risk of low grade prostate cancer associated with 5-ARI use. Patients treated for >2 years with 5-ARIs should be informed about the increased risk of development of high grade disease.

OBJECTIVE: This study sought to compare the incidental prostate cancer (iPCa) detection rate between pathological specimens from green laser enucleation of the prostate (GreenLEP) and open simple prostatectomy (OSP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: In two institutions, the charts of all consecutive patients who underwent OSP between January 2005 and December 2010 were retrospectively reviewed, and the data of all consecutive patients who underwent GreenLEP with tissue morcellation between July 2013 and January 2018 were also collected. Preoperative demographics and pathological findings were recorded. iPCa detection rate was retrospectively compared between the GreenLEP and OSP groups in a propensity score model, including all predetermined variables: Age, preoperative PSA level and prostate volume. RESULTS: Of 738 patients, 402 were included in the propensity-score matching analysis, and they were equally distributed among groups. The overall iPCa detection rates were similar in both groups (9.9% vs. 8.5%; p = 0.73), and there were no statistically significant differences in terms of tumour stage, Gleason score or the rate of clinically significant iPCa, although the number of cassettes analysed was significantly higher in the morcellation group than in the OSP group. No predictive factors for iPCa were identified. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study suggest that the mechanical morcellation of large glands had no influence on iPCa detection. Compared with a specimen from standard OSP, a large morcellated tissue sample allows adequate pathological evaluation and does not alter a pathologist's ability to detect iPCa.

Benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) could be associated with low urinary symptoms requiring medical treatment: 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (5-ARI) or É-blockers. Two clinical trials investigating 5-ARI use in prostate cancer (PCa) primary prevention highlighted a potential safety signal with an increased risk of high-grade PCa. Later observational studies failed to show similar results but have some limits. This paper focuses on describing the protocol of the CANARI study and its feasibility, as regards the matching process of two pseudo-anonymous databases. The study concerned patients living in the Brittany region (France) between 2010 and 2013. We designed a case-control study nested within a cohort of men treated by medical drugs licensed for symptomatic BPH between 2010 and 2011. Cases were patients with incident PCa diagnosed between 2012 and 2013 identified through French Health database (SNIIRAM). Gleason score was searched through Brittany pathology laboratories. Controls were patients without PCa diagnosis. Local pathology laboratories database was constituted in Brittany, gathering Gleason scores. No unique identification number is available in France; linkage of SNIIRAM and Brittany pathology laboratories database was made by deterministic matching. We matched 859 cases to Gleason grading (119 had Gleason score ≥8 and 740 had Gleason <8); around 22% of cases received 5-ARI and 78% α-blockers or phytotherapy. The CANARI study investigated in a population of men treated for BPH the risk of PCa with 5-ARI, according to Gleason grade thanks to SNIIRAM database enriched by local pathological results.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) is an alternative to transurethral resection of the prostate in the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Our objective was to prospectively evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of ambulatory photoselective vaporization of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We prospectively collected data of all consecutive patients who underwent ambulatory PVP with the Greenlight(®) laser 180-W XPS at two centers between May 2012 and June 2013. Patients' characteristics, perioperative data, postoperative outcomes, complications, and patient's satisfaction were evaluated. Successful ambulatory care procedure was defined as the ability to leave the hospital in the evening of the operation. RESULTS: The ambulatory procedure was intended in 134 patients. Mean age was 67 years. Mean prostate volume was 54 ml, and Median American Society Anesthesiologists (ASA) score was 2. Ambulatory procedure was successful in 121 patients (90%). At 3 months, International Prostate Symptom Score (7.3 ± 4.9), maximal urinary flow rate (20.8 ± 7.6 ml/s), postvoid residual urine (19.2 ± 71 ml), and quality of life (1.6 ± 1.4) were significantly improved (P < 0.001). Fourteen patients (10.5%) had complications that were all minor (Clavien ≤ 2). Two patients had to be readmitted to the hospital. The majority of patients (89%) were satisfied with ambulatory care. Failure to complete ambulatory procedure was mostly related to logistical problem (70% of the cases). CONCLUSIONS: Ambulatory PVP is feasible with functional results and complications comparable to that of traditional hospitalization. Ambulatory care yields high patient's satisfaction.
