re-catheterizations than RASP (p[0.0294). Three-month PSA was similar in both arms. There was a significant difference in voiding symptoms at 3 months with IPSS [ 2 in the HoLEP arm and IPSS [ 7 (p <0.001) in the RASP arm, mainly irritative LUTS.CONCLUSIONS: Both HoLEP and RASP are feasible and safe procedures for prostatomegaly >100 cc. HoLEP is associated with significantly lesser duration of surgery, post-operative indwelling catheter and hospital stay.
Our study demonstrated a rat prostatic VL atrophy in the denervated side, due to a shrinkage in the epithelial component of the gland. Ultrastructural findings also suggest an overall decrease of epithelial cell secretory activity. Finally, the increase of ribosomal aggregates found in stromal smooth muscle could reflect an activation of these cells after denervation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
