Abstract:
:Visual laser ablation of the prostate (VLAP) was evaluated by serial video-endoscopy and six months of clinical correlation in 7 men suffering from advanced prostatism and urinary retention. Images of the prostatic urethra were obtained before and at various intervals from two to nineteen weeks after the procedure. A substantial tissue defect evolved within three months; complete healing required an even longer period. Except in the 1 patient with middle lobe obstruction, spontaneous urination was restored in all patients (including 2 cancer patients additionally treated with androgen deprivation). No operative complications were encountered. Thus, a safe and visually successful prostatectomy was the usual result of VLAP in the present patients. As a minimally invasive method to remove an obstructing prostate, laser treatment warrants further study.

UROLOGY文献大全abstract:OBJECTIVES:An association between prostatitis and male infertility has been suspected, yet is poorly understood. Prostatitis is often associated with granulocytes in the prostatic fluid that generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), known to impair male fertility.
