From the author: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common problem among older men. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common surgical procedure for treatment of BPH. Typically, TURP is performed using monopolar electric current and a wire electrode; however, the irrigating solution used during this procedure has the potential to cause transurethral resection (TUR) syndrome. A new technology uses bipolar electrosurgery, which creates less risk of electrical shock, and saline irrigation, which eliminates the risk for TUR syndrome.

Product Description
The book critically and concisely reviews current basic science data on the bladder and prostate, as well as the way in which the function of both is altered in benign prostatic hyperplasia to cause bladder outflow obstruction. The text is in two parts: the first deals with the basic science aspects, and the second provides a review of the reasons for prostatectomy and the safety of this procedure. Additionally, there is an examination of the recent literature on pharmaco-therapy of the prostate and some of the contemporary techniques used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The particular combination of clinical practice with those basic sciences applicable to clinical practice provides a clear and useful overview of the subject matter. ... Read more
