Article Abstract
Introduction: A history of transurethral surgery of the prostate is generally considered as a risk factor of adverse functional outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP). We tested whether the risk of postoperative urinary incontinence (UIC) and erectile dysfunction (ED) after RP could be further substantiated in such patients.
Materials And Methods: We tested the effect of the following variables on UIC and ED rates 1 year after RP: residual prostate volume after transurethral desobstruction, the time from transurethral desobstruction to RP, the type of transurethral desobstruction (TURP vs. laser enucleation), age, and nerve-sparing surgery (yes vs. no). UIC was defined as usage of any pad except a safety pad. ED was defined as no sexual intercourse possible.
Results: Overall, 216 patients treated with RP between 2010 and 2019 in a tertiary care center were evaluated. All patients had previously undergone transurethral desobstruction. Regarding UIC analyses, only time from transurethral desobstruction to RP significantly influenced UIC rates (p = 0.003). Regarding ED rates, none of the tested variables reached statistical significance.
Conclusion: The risk of UIC and ED after RP is substantial in men who had previously undergone transurethral desobstruction. The time from transurethral desobstruction to RP significantly impacts on the postoperative UIC rates. This observation should be further explored in future studies.

Introduction: Men with detrusor underactivity (DUA) and concomitant bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) due to benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) may present poorer functional outcomes after surgical desobstruction. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BPE surgery in men with DUA compared with those with normal detrusor contractility (NC).

Surgical treatment of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) is one of the most common procedures in urology. Numerous alternative methods have been developed in recent years to overcome the potential limitations of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) while providing comparable effectiveness and less morbidity. In a randomized study with a currently available follow-up of 3 years, the Aquabeam® system has shown comparable functional results with a lower rate of adverse events compared to TURP.

Background: Standard surgical treatments for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) use a transurethral approach. Drawbacks are the need for general or spinal anesthesia and complications such as hematuria, strictures, and cloth retention. Therefore, a minimal invasive technique under local anesthesia is desired to improve patient safety.

Purpose: Profound endourological skills are required for optimal postoperative outcome parameters after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). We investigated the Karl Storz (Tuttlingen, Germany) UroTrainer for virtual simulation training of the TURP.
Materials And Methods: Twenty urologists underwent a virtual reality (VR) TURP training.
