“…As expected, the mean prostate volume encountered in our study is relatively higher than finding from a meta‐analysis in Caucasian men, but in the same range as values previously recorded in Afro‐Caribbean populations, consistent with earlier reports that men of African descent generally have above average prostate volumes 1,12,14,24 . The perfect agreement between the weight and volume of prostatic adenomatous tissue in our study confirms a prostatic tissue density of 1.0g/ml in sub‐Saharan African men.…”

“…Despite the sterling attributes of TRUS, its diagnostic performance for prostate volume estimation has been questioned in pockets of literature especially in men with very large prostate volumes, presumably as a result of difficulties with precisely delineating the cephalic border of the gland during the TRUS procedure 10,11 . Sub‐Saharan African men are generally known to have a higher mean prostate volume than other races, 12‐14 so this study will evaluate the reliability of TRUS for prostate volume estimation in this sub‐population, and the findings will also reasonably find application in men of other races with above average prostate volumes.…”

Background and Aim: Despite transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) being regarded as gold standard for prostate volume estimation, concerns have been raised in the literature concerning its accuracy especially in men with above-average prostate volumes. We aimed to evaluate the performance of TRUS for prostate volume estimation in a cohort of sub-Saharan African men since they are known to have relatively large mean prostate volumes. Methods: This was a prospective study of 77 sub-Saharan African men who had open simple prostatectomy for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Pre-operative TRUS determined total prostate volume (TPV) and transition zone volume (TZV). Following surgical enucleation, the adenoma was weighed (EPW) and its volume (EPV) also determined by fluid displacement. TRUS was repeated six weeks post-operatively to calculate the TRUS-estimated specimen volume (TESV).

“…difference may be explained by the technological advancement in Europe and America with easier access to endoscopic equipment as well as because Caucasians have relatively smaller prostate volumes easily amenable to TURP[14].…”

Background: Open prostatectomy (OP) is still relatively common in developing countries and remains a useful benchmark against which the minimal access surgical techniques are compared. This study aims to document the indications and outcomes of OP in a typical developing economy. Method: The records of patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) who had OP in our university teaching hospital between July 2004 and June 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Some analyzed parameters include the demographic characteristics, indications, pre-operative work-up, anaesthetic techniques, OP type, complications, histopathology results and follow-up duration. Results: A total of 247 cases were studied. Mean age was 67 years while the commonest surgery indication was recurrent acute urinary retention. Average prostate specific antigen (PSA) was 8.4 ng/ml while hypertension was the most common co-morbidity (44.1%). Regional anaesthesia was mainly used (79.4%) while retropubic prostatectomy was the commonest OP type done (58.7%). The enucleated specimen weighed above 60 g in 91.9% of cases. All our patients were able to micturate spontaneously with urine stream above 20 mls/second on follow-up one week after discharge. Mean duration of hospital admission and follow-up were 7 days and 9 months respectively. Complications occurred in 90 patients (36.4%), of which surgical site infections were the commonest (9.8%). There was 0.4% mortality. Histopathology results showed BPH (95.5%), (incidental) prostate adenocarcinoma (2.4%) or prostatic intra-epithelial neoplasia (2.1%). Conclusion: OP remains an important therapeutic option for management of BPH in developing countries partly due to relatively large prostate size and presence of BPH complications from late presenta-#

“…Some authors considered equal values for prostatic volume and weight, since the density of the prostate is approximately 1.0g/mL. (17)(18)(19) In this study, the density of 1.0 was emplyed, which was also used by Rodriguez et al, (17) among other authors. The value of a density of 1.05 is also widely used, and more seldom, the coefficient 1.1, as Tewari et al, (16) published.…”

Validation of supra-pubic ultrasonography for preoperative prostate volume measurement in sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract: SPUS is accurate relative to TRUS in assessing preoperative volume of the prostate and can be used in the African context to assign patients to open prostatectomy or TURP.
