To evaluate the safety and efficacy of diode laser-assisted bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with an oyster procedure for large prostate glands (>80 mL).A total of 43 men who presented with lower urinary tract symptoms because of large prostate (>80 mL) obstruction were enrolled in our study. All of these patients underwent the oyster procedure. Measurements included the...
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of vaginal cystocele repair using a pursestring suture technique reinforced with custom-tailored 2-armed mesh. The records of patients who underwent isolated cystocele repair by a single surgeon were retrospectively reviewed. All women were assessed by clinical examination and lower urinary tract symptoms preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months and every year postoperatively...
To identify the risk factors affecting cure after the tension-free vaginal tape procedure (TVT) or transobturator tape procedure (TOT).A total of 121 women with urodynamically proved stress incontinence underwent TVT (n = 61) or TOT (n = 60). We analyzed all data with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Univariate analysis revealed that a larger postvoid residual urine volume,...
Objectives. This study was undertaken to define the probability of prostate cancer as a function of the proportion of free to total prostate-specific antigen (FTPSA), total PSA, and age for those patients with total PSA levels between 2.5 and 20.0 ng/mL.Methods. Prebiopsy serums were obtained from 428 untreated patients (165 malignant, 263 benign) who had undergone sextant six-core biopsy. Each...
This study examined the clinical significance of non-complexed (free) prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the differential diagnosis of prostate cancer with an emphasis on patients with total PSA values between 4.0 and 10.0 ng/mL (the diagnostic gray zone).Serum samples were obtained from three specimen banks. Patient samples consisted of 55 untreated historically confirmed primary cancer, 62 men with...
