Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Hyperplasia"

Holmium laser prostatectomy will enhance voiding function. Holmium laser prostatectomy will enhance sleep quality. Holmium laser prostatectomy will enhance renal function. Holmium laser prostatectomy will enhance erectile function. Holmium laser prostatectomy will enhance the health-related quality of life.

The aim of this study was to identify serial changes in the incidence of postoperative pyuria after the Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP), to determine whether the presence of postoperative pyuria could be correlated with surgical outcomes after surgery and to identify predicting factors that influence on persistent pyuria after the PVP.

Urodynamic examination evaluates storage and empting phases of the urinary bladder. It enables the clinician to correlate physiologic findings to patients' complains. The data gathered during the examination divided to storage and empting. During the storage phase, bladder sensation is measured while the bladder is filled with sterile water. During years of practice, we noticed that early sensation (bladder over-sensitivity) is occasionally associated with bladder outlet obstruction (as demonstrated in the emptying phase of the examination.

This study assesses the feasibility, and acceptability of a (mobile) application for men presenting at their physician's office with LUTS/BPH; starting with medical therapy and naïve for treatment. Patients will be enrolled in the study by their physician (GP or urologist). The patients will receive a daily medication reminder including frequent feedback on medication adherence. Furthermore, standard questionnaires will be filled out via the application. The hypothesis of this pilot study is that application is feasible and accepted in this group of patients.

Recent literature indicated that postoperative storage symptoms after Photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) or holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) were often reported and generally more common than after transurethral prostatectomy (TURP). However, almost all literature focused on postoperative urgency or dysuria immediately after PVP or HoLEP. Thus, there has been a scarcity of data on serial changes of storage symptoms in the postoperative period after PVP or HoLEP and data on predicting factors that influence improvement in storage symptoms postoperatively. The aim of this study was to compare serial changes of postoperative storage symptoms between PVP and HoLEP, and to identify the predictors that influence improvement of storage symptoms postoperatively.

Emerging from a differential proteomic study of sample pairs of prostate cancer and benign tissue, annexin A3 (ANXA3) was chosen as a potential novel biomarker for the early and non-invasive diagnosis of prostate cancer. We wanted to show or investigate, that: ANXA3 can be detected in urine after standard digital rectal examination. ANXA3 has better specificities than tPSA, in particular in the grey zone of PSA ANXA3 can help avoid unnecessary biopsies ANXA3 can in the long run replace PSA as a marker

This study aims to investigate the impact of transurethral prostate resection in regard to complications. These are direct surgical complications, such as bleeding, infection and readmissions, as well as the long term complications as incontinence and impotence. Also, the study aims to investigate if selected cases of patients could be performed as outpatient surgery, thereby reducing cost.

The aim of this study was to evaluate an impact of preoperative bladder underactivity on treatment outcomes of photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) or holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in the treatment of benign prostatic obstruction, and to compare it between the two types of surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
