Book Description

The spectrum of treatment options for benign prostatic hyperplasia is matched by the spectrum of disease severity. New medications and minimally invasive modalities offer a greater range of choices to both the urologist and the patient. As BPH is rarely life-threatening, management is generally focussed on quality of life. With up to 90% of men in their 80s suffering from BPH to some extent, the prevalence of the disease is growing. It is imperative that patients be offered the full options available to manage BPH. Pharmacologic therapies available for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to BPH include alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists, such as terazosin, doxazosin, alfuzosin and tamsulosin, and the 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, finasteride and dutasteride. Other strategies, such as plant-derived medication or watchful waiting, are applied to varying extents. This well-written and highly illustrated guide covers all these therapies and will well serve all urologists treating BPH.

Book Description

The first edition of this breakthrough title was very well received by urologists around the world and became the standard reference work on the subject of BPH.

Now the first edition's original sections have been expanded and, once again, a team of expert editors and contributors ensure that readers are presented with the latest information about BPH. All aspects of the disorder are explored, from pathophysiology to the latest treatments and clinical trials including MTOPS and PREDICT.

Book Description
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an age-related, nonmalignant condition that may lead to bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms. The standard treatment of BPH has been ordinary loop transurethral prostatectomy, but new therapies have been developed as a combined result of research, technological advances, and the cumulative experience of urological surgeons. Among the most promising therapeutic alternatives to ordinary loop resection are those that deliver topical or interstitial heat to prostatic tissue. Transurethral microwave thermotherapy, visual laser ablation with the Nd:YAG laser, high-intensity focused ultrasound, and transurethral electrovaporization are some of the techniques described in this book. These innovative procedures, employed by skilled urologists using state-of-the-art instruments, hold forth the promise of improved quality of life for BPH patients and represent significant advances in the field of urology. ...
