    Prostate Biopsy in the Elderly: Histologic Findings and Treatment Necessity
    (2014) Akman, Ramazan Yavuz; Koseoglu, Hikmet; Oguzulgen, Ahmet Ibrahim; Sen, Erhan; Yaycioglu, Ozgur; 25374232
    The aim of this study is to determine results of high prostate specific antigen (PSA) or abnormal digital rectal examination driven prostate biopsies performed in our Department in men aged 75 or more and to show the characteristics of pathology results. The hospital records of the patients who had high PSA or abnormal digital rectal examination driven prostate biopsy in two common university based research hospitals have been reviewed retrospectively. Patients aged 75 years or older at the date of biopsy whose records provided pathology results and full medical history were evaluated for the study. A total of 103 patients were evaluated with a mean age of 79.4 +/- 3.4 years. More than half of the patients (55.1%) were in their seventh decade and the rest were in the eighth decade. Median PSA value was 15.0 (range 2.1-4500) ng/ml. In most of the biopsies (67%), PSA levels were lower than 20 ng/ml. In almost half of the patients (48%), digital rectal examination was abnormal. In 68.9% of the patients, there were at least one or more associated co-morbid diseases. Gleason scores were 7 or higher in 73%, and 8 or higher in 37% of the patients with prostate cancer. Four of the 70 (6%) patients had bone metastases. Castrations were applied to most of the patients with prostate adenocarcinoma (% 79). High percentage of high grade (Gleason 7 or more) prostate adenocarcinoma in the elderly refutes the perception of prostate cancer in this age group as clinically insignificant. Therefore, it is to be kept in mind that prostate cancer in the elderly an be clinically significant and prostate biopsies are to be performed when necessary.

    Monopolar and Bipolar Modalities of Transurethral Prostate Resection
    (2015) Koseoglu, Hikmet; Akman, Ramazan Yavuz
    Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) related lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is among the most common diseases in the aging male. Both medical and surgical treatment modalities have been improved strikingly in the last 20 years. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) is still the gold standard for the surgical treatment for the prostates with the volume of 30-80 ml. Today, besides monopolar classical TUR-P systems which are still widely used, bipolar TUR-P systems are also being used in the increasing numbers. Results of recent meta-analyses did not determine difference between monopolar and bipolar systems in terms of clinical efficacy, in addition, showed bipolar advantages in terms of bleeding and clot retention. Both monopolar and bipolar systems shall better be used until the results of multi-centered prospective studies which compare both modalities with high number of patients together with controlling surgeon factors.
