ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the proper time and method for treatment of prostatic abscess (PA).METHODS:
This is a retrospective study that included 18 patients diagnosed with and treated for prostatic abscess between February 2017 and July 2022. After obtaining data from the patients' medical records, we analyzed their clinical features as well as the therapeutic methods opted for and their effectiveness. Resultsï¼ Of the 18 patients included, one achieved a full recovery after a spontaneous rupture of the abscess. Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided aspiration was performed in the remaining 17 patients, of whom 14 had a complete resolution after this procedure whereas 3 experienced recurrence. The recurrent cases were successfully managed with transurethral (TU) de-roofing.CONCLUSION:
TRUS-guided aspiration is a treatment modality with a marked curative effect for simple PAs. For refractory abscesses (recurrent, multifocal, incomplete or unsuccessful drainage) or PA located near the urethra, TU de-roofing can be considered as a first choice to shorten the course of the disease and alleviate the medical treatment expenses due to recurrence.Palabras clave
