The article presents an abstract regarding "Postoperative prostate specific antigen (PSA) decline predicts adequacy of adenoma removal with BPH surgical techniques," by P.J. Gilling, E.Fong, K.M. Kennett, A.M. Westenburg, L.Wilson and M.R. Fraundorfer. The study was conducted by ...
Introduction: PSA, in patients with BPH, is correlated with total prostate and transition zone volume. The decline in serum PSA levels may therefore be an important marker of completeness of tissue removal in patients undergoing invasive surgical procedures for BPH (Tinmouth et al 2005). In ...

Path. weight also correlated with symptom score improvement.Conclusions: BNI, laser ablation and microwave appear to result in less PSA decline and TRUS volume fall than after TURP and by inference less complete removal of adenoma. HoLEP gives larger % falls. A greater fall appears to be ...
