Modified technique in Freyer's prostatectomy to achieve hemostasis
Indian Journal of Urology, 10/07/2009
|
Shahapurkar VV et al. – This study is an attempt to develop a technique by which complete hemostasis can be achieved on table by giving traction to the Foley's catheter thereby compressing the venous plexus and the avulsed ... neck by the inflated balloon. The average blood loss was 18.9 ml which proves that the Foley's balloon pressure traction method at the bladder neck is effective in achieving hemostasis in patients undergoing open prostatectomy.

A pathological reassessment of organ-confined, Gleason score 6 prostatic adenocarcinomas that progress after radical prostatectomy
International Braz J Urol, 11/04/2009
|
Miyamoto H et al. – Even for the rare true organ–confined, Gleason score 6 (no pattern 4) tumor with supposed biochemical progression, some may be false–positive progression based on low post–radical prostatectomy prostate–specific ... minute tumors that seem highly improbable to progress. With accurate pathologic evaluation, men with organ–confined, Gleason score 6 (no pattern 4) prostate cancer can be told that their risk of progression is very rare.
