We describe the clinical experience with a self-expanding prostatic stent used in patients with bladder outlet obstruction and advanced comorbid medical illness. A Gianturco-Z stent was placed in 25 men, including 21 in urinary retention. Patients were followed clinically and with serial endoscopy.
Transrectal hyperthermia, transurethral thermotherapy, prostatic stent, and prostatic spiral were used to treat 120 poor operative risk patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia. The preoperative subjective and objective conditions of the four groups (each of 30 patients) were
We critically reviewed our 6-year experience with transrectal microwave hyperthermia of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in 320 patients either at high surgical risk or refusing surgery. Transrectal prostatic hyperthermia was given in five to ten 60-minute sessions with an
Transrectal microwave hyperthermia of the prostate was administered to 191 patients with bladder outlet obstruction due to benign prostatic hyperplasia who were either at poor operative risk or who refused surgery. Patients were divided in 2 groups according to age and they underwent either 5 or 10,
Transrectal microwave hyperthermia was applied to 46 stages D1 and D2 prostate cancer patients to treat urinary symptoms and local pain unrelieved by total androgen ablation therapy. Hyperthermia was administered in 10, 60-minute sessions twice a week for 5 weeks. A calculated intraprostatic
OBJECTIVE
Congenital primary bladder diverticulum is a rare cause of infra-vesical obstruction. We present a series of 12 cases who presented with urinary retention secondary to a large primary bladder diverticulum. The aim is to high light the diagnostic difficulties and management issues of
OBJECTIVE
It has been hypothesized that endoscopic decompression of the duplex extravesical ureterocele is necessary to prevent the complications of urinary tract infections and progressive hydronephrosis. This study was performed to test this premise.
METHODS
Infants younger than 2 weeks with an
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the results of combined suprapubic cystolithotomy followed by transurethral resection (TUR) of the prostate (TURP) or TUR of the bladder neck in patients with infravesical obstruction and massive or numerous bladder stones. We also reviewed the medical literature and
OBJECTIVE
To determine if more restrictive indications for urinary catheterisation reinforced by daily chart review will lower catheterisation rates.
METHODS
An historical comparative observational study.

BACKGROUND
Urethral stenosis or abnormalities in the external urethral meatus in girls may lead to serious functional bladder outlet obstruction and recurrent urinary tract infections.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to analyze the efficacy of meatotomy in girls with an anterior deflected urinary
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common cause of bladder outlet obstruction and voiding symptoms in elderly men. The pathogenesis is not fully determined but a combination of androgens and age are needed for development of BPH. Symptoms of BPH are divided into obstructive and
A case of cecoureterocele in a 22-month-old girl is reported. She was admitted because of recurrent urinary tract infection associated with fever and dysuria. Excretory urogram showed a left duplex kidney with hydroureteronephrosis of the upper and lower moieties. Although the left upper moiety was
Xanthogranulomatous prostatitis is a rare type of granulomatous prostatitis, with very few cases described. We report the clinical, radiological and pathological findings of 5 cases of xanthogranulomatous prostatitis. All patients came for recurrent episodes of hematospermia (associated with fever
