Abstract
Bladder and Prostate Sonomorphology as Non Invasive Method for Assessing the Lower Urinary Tract in Patient with Symptomatic Bladder Outlet Obstruction Due to Benign Prostate Enlargement
Highlights
Benign prostate enlargement (BPE) is one of the most common disease in elderly men
Measurement the bladder weight, bladder wall thickness and intravesical prostatic protrusion can be done by using ultrasound which is a simple, non-invasive and less complex and can predict bladder outlet obstruction in patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia[10]
AIM OF THE STUDY: The present study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonic parameters for the diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction associated with BPE
Summary
Benign prostate enlargement (BPE) is one of the most common disease in elderly men. The prevalence of histological BPE increases with age and appears in approximately 40% of men aged 50-60 years and in approximately 90% of men aged more than 80 years [1]. Measurement the bladder weight , bladder wall thickness and intravesical prostatic protrusion can be done by using ultrasound which is a simple, non-invasive and less complex and can predict bladder outlet obstruction in patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia[10]. AIM OF THE STUDY: The present study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonic parameters for the diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction associated with BPE. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A cross sectional comparative study conducted during the period between the first of March 2017 till the end of July 2018 on men aged 50 years or older with LUTS/BPE visiting urology outpatient department at Ghazi al-Hariri hospital for surgical specialties. A level of p – value less than 0.05 was significant
