Intravesical Prostatic Protrusion in Prediction Outcome of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Keywords:
Intravesical Prostatic Protrusion, Prediction Outcome, Benign Prostatic HyperplasiaAbstract
In this study we evaluate the correlation between intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) and treatment outcome of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
A total of 43 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were evaluated by International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS), prostate volume, maximum flow rate, residual urine and IPP (measured by transrectal ultrasound).
Of 19 patients who underwent TURP and 24 patients who continued medication were evaluated. All patients with IPP less than 5 mm. continue their medication. If IPP between 5 to 8 mm. the chance for TURP is similar to medication but if IPP between 8 to10 mm. the risk for TURP is higher than 2 fold and if IPP is more than 10 mm. it will increase the risk for TURP by 4 fold.
Therefore IPP assessment is another useful indicator to predict treatment outcome.
