Q

Name 3 benefits of ARIs for BPH?

A

1- 25-30% volume reduction of prostate
2- decrease risk of urinary retention
3- decrease the need for surgical intervention
seems to work best in patients with PSA>1.5 and Prostate volume>30cc
alpha blockers dont do this

Q

What is recommended in men with nocturnal polyuria?

A

desmopressin( an arginine vasopressin (AVP), ADH analogue) , check Sodium 7 days post and 30 days.

17
Q

are there any phythotherapies recommended for MLUTS, BPH?

A

No

18
Q

What are complications of TURP?

A

Bleeding, infection, capsular perforation, TUR syndrome, bladder neck contracture, incontinence, retrograde ejaculation, ED, surgical retreatment(2% per year)

19
Q

Who should have M-TURP? What about B-TURP?

A

moderate to severe symptoms V: 30-80 cc

Same as M-TURP but has lower morbidity

20
Q

who should have bipolar plasma kinetic vaporization of prostate(BPKVP)?

A

Prostate <60ml, shorter OR time, cath time, hospital stay,. comparable peak flow rates, PSA reduction, IPSS to M-TURP

21
Q

who do they recommend open simple for?

A

Prostate>80ml, concurrent open bladder procedure(stones, diverticulum), inability to place patient in dorsal lithotomy position due to severe hip disease

22
Q

who is PVP recommended for?

A

alternative in men with moderate to severe LUTS

men on anticoagulation or high cardiovascular risk

23
Q

Who should have HoLEP?

A

anyone, if surgeon can do it

24
Q

Who sould have diode laser vaporization

A

alternate surgical approach for men on anticoagulation

25
Q

What about thulium Yag?

A

alternative treatment. can do it for small or large glands

26
Q

What is the role of TUIP?

A

Prostate<30ml without a middle lobe

27
Q

Who should have TUMT?

A

carefully selected well informed men, outpatient procedure, retreatment rate at 5 years 42-59%

28
Q

What is the role of Transurethral needle ablation (TUNA):

A

No role, they suggest we don’t offer it, high retreatment rates

29
Q

What are complications of prostatic stents? what’s their role?

A

migration, encrustation, exacerbation of LUTS, misplacement, For unfit patients for surgery as an alternative to catheterization if they got a functional detrusor

30
Q

What is the role of UroLift?

A

Prostate<80ml, no middle lobe and interested in preserving ant ejaculation. durable but less effective than TURP

31
Q

Who can have Rezum(convective water vapor energy ablation)?

A

Prostate<80ml, can have middle lobe, interested in preserving anti ejaculation… NOTE: this is different from waterjet ablation. waterjet ablation can be given to guys with prostate<80ml with or without middle lobe and is better than TURP for ejaculation

32
Q

What is the role of temporary implantable nitinol device?

A

no role right now, dont offer it, in research

33
Q

What are complications of prostatic artery embolization?

A

non targeted embolization can lead to : transient ischemic proctitis, bladder ischemia, urehtral and ureteral stricture and seminal vesicle ischemia

34
Q

Should you offer prostate artery embolization to patients?

No

35
Q
