Ethanol
Intraprostatic injection of botulinum toxin A (onabotulinumtoxinA; 100 IU) through transrectal ultrasonography. One vial (100 IU) is dissolved in 10 ml saline and injected in the transition zone of each lobe of the prostate in 3 sites; basal, middle and apical. one gm intramuscular ceftriaxone started and continued 3 days. A rectal enema performed the night before the procedure. The anal area sterilized A 21 gauge needle was introduced to the prostate.
Intraprostatic injection of dehydrated ethanol through transrectal ultrasonography. An amount equal to 25% of prostate volume was injected distributed over 6-8 sites among both prostatic lobes with an average of 2 ml per site. one gm intramuscular ceftriaxone started and continued 3 days. A rectal enema performed the night before the procedure. The anal area sterilized A 21 gauge needle introduced to the prostate.
