Sinopsis

The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has considerably changed in the past few years. New treatment options are now available. This book deals with epidemiology, assessment, medical, surgical and alternative treatment as well as treatment outcome. Surgical treatment was challenged in recent years by other medical or minimal invasive treatment options. The book gives an overview of the present state-of-the-art in the treatment of BPH.

Reseña del editor

An intense discussion has recently begun regarding current standards in the diagnosis and treatment of benign prosta­ tic hyperplasia (BPH). A number of factors have led to this discussion. In an increasing proportion of aging men, for example, BPH causes so-called obstructive symptoms that must be relieved by medical or operative means. This entails an immense social and economic impact in terms of health costs. In addition, recent data indicate the most frequently performed operation for BPH - transurethral resection of the prostate - is associated with a higher risk of death due to cardiac disease than open prostatectomy. Furthermore, studies using the recently developed technique of uro­ dynamics to assess bladder outflow obstruction reveal that about 20% -30% of patients treated with transurethral resection or open prostatectomy are actually not obstructed. This means that these patients do not receive the most effective therapy. Finally, various new treatment been developed, including medical treat­ modalities have ment directed at endocrine pathways in the prostatic cells, balloon dilatation, spirals, temporary or permanent stents, C). nd the application of heat in hyperthermia or thermo­ therapy. The contributions to this volume were selected from a symposium on the diagnosis and treatment of BPH. They are intended to provide a comprehensive review of the state of the art in treating BPH.

Reseña del editor

The treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has considerably changedin the past few years. New treatment options are now available such as stents, hyperthermia or antiandrogens. The indication for these new treatment modalities has still to be defined. Some of these may be of help in poor risk patients, others may improve symptoms without majorimport on the underlying disease. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and open surgical procedures are still the cornerstones of the treatment in patients with significant bladder outlet obstruction. However, further improvements in technique are warrented to minimize mortality.
