Q

Path

A
  1. Benign nodular or diffuse hyperplasia of stromal and epithelial cells
  2. Affects inner (transitional) layer of prostate (cf. Ca) - urethral compression
  3. DHT produced from testosterone in stromal cells by 5alpha reductase enzyme
  4. DHT-induced GFs - raised stromal cells and reduced epithelial cell death

Q

Tranurethral electrovaporisation of prostate

A

Electric current - tissue vaporisation

20
Q

Laser prostatectomy

A

reduced ED and retrograde ejaculation

Similar efficiacy as TURP

21
Q

Open retropubic prostatectomy

A

Used for very large prostates >100g

22
Q

TURP complciations immediate

A

TUR syndrome - absorption of large quality of fluids - reduced NA
Haemorrhage

23
Q

TURP complications early

A

Haemorrhage
Infection
Clot retention: requires bladder irrigation

24
Q

LAte complications of TURP

A

Retrograde ejaculation: common
ED 10%
