PURPOSE: Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the gold standard treatment option for localized prostate cancer (Pca) treatment. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the potance condition of patients who completed the first year after the radical prostatectomy operation with the perineal approach . PATİENTS AND METHODS: The study included 107 preoperatively potant patients who underwent RPP for localized PCA between April 2006 and September 2009. Besides to 65 patients with a preoperative International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF)- 5 score of 21 or over, 42 patients who were evaluated with their partners, even though whose preopeative IIEF-5 score was between 16-20; however, answered yes to the SEP 2 and SEP 3 questions, were considered as potant. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was 62.4 years. The mean preoperative PSA value was 6.5 ng/dL. The mean prostate volume was 48cc (15-70). Eighty-one (75.7%) of all patients were able to continue their sexual life with or without medication at postoperative 12th month. Forty-four (54.3%) patients were normal in terms of sexual function without any need for additional treatment CONCLUSİON: We evaluated that erectile function was preserved in 81 of 107 (75.7%) patients after 1 year from surgery with or without medical therapy.

Background To evaluate the outcome of endoscopic treatment for symptomatic vesicoureteral refux (VUR) disease in renal transplantation patients and to determine the factors that were associated with the success rate of the treatment. Methods A total of 121 symptomatic VUR diseases diagnosed between 2014 and 2018 in 3560 renal transplant patients. The results of 49 VUR cases that presented with febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) and were hospitalized for antibiotic treatment were included in the study. Refux was detected by voiding cystourethrogram and treatment was performed by endoscopic Defux® injection. The result of endoscopic treatment was evaluated clinically by 3 months periods. Results The mean time between transplantation and endoscopic treatment was 59.6 (5–132) months, and the mean followup period after the endoscopic treatment was 14 (6–48) months, respectively. The success rate after the frst injection was 59.1% (n=29) and 67.3% (n=33) after the second injection. One patient developed anuria, one patient febrile UTI and four patients developed minimal macroscopic hematuria after the procedure. Conclusions Endoscopic treatment of symptomatic VUR in transplanted kidney is a safe and feasible procedure. The amount of bulking agent or duration between the transplantation and diagnosis of VUR does not have any impact on the success of the treatment. However, the younger age of the patients and the female gender seem to have a positive efect on the outcome of the procedure.

Purpose The study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the endoscopic treatment in transplanted patients with neurogenic bladder who complained of symptomatic vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Material and Methods Fifteen patients with VUR who were previously diagnosed with a neurogenic bladder were included in the study. The Lich-Gregoire technique was used for ureterovesical anastomosis during transplantation, and a double J stent was inserted routinely in the ureter to protect the anastomosis. The sting operation was performed under general anesthesia in the lithotomy position. A 4.8 Fr double J stent (Boston Scientific, Boston, MA) was inserted to prevent the risk of ureteral obstruction. Successful treatment was defined as absent acute glomerulopyelonephritis (AGPN) during follow-up and as absent VUR on radiological evaluation. Results Clinical success was achieved in 6 of 10 patients (60%) who presented with recurrent febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) and in 4 of 6 (66%) patients who presented with gradually graft function deterioration. In 3 patients, the ureteral neo-orifice could not be localized during the operation owing to severe trabeculation of the bladder wall. The other 2 patients with a previous history of augmented bladder procedures had a hypotension attack during bladder filling; hence, the operation was stopped to prevent further complications. Two patients, whose clinical symptoms did not resolve after the sting procedure, accepted open ureteral reimplantation surgery. Conclusion Endoscopic management of the VUR in the transplant patients with neurogenic bladder function is safe and effective in at least half of the patients in a mid-term follow-up period.

Sevinc, Cuneyd ( isu author) Karadeniz, Tahir ( isu author) The aim of the study was to determine different variables that may be predictive for prolonged lymporrhoea and duration of lymphatic drainage. Two hundred and three patients who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) and pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) were enrolled in this study. Lymphorrhoea was defined as the total amount of lymph drained by the drains until their removal. Duration of drainage was defined as the days until the removal of the last drains. Parameters that might be related to lymphorrhoea and duration of drainage including age, body mass index (BMI), removed lymph nodes, hemoglobin level (gr/dl), estimated blood loss (ml) (EBL), platelet count (PLN), hospital stay (HS) and lymph node status were reviewed retrospectively. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the association between lymphorrhoea with probable predictors for these variables. The mean number of removed lymph nodes was 28.52 (16-58). The mean amount of lymphorrhoea and the duration of drainage were 1504 ml (300-5850) and 10.10 days (2-27), respectively. Multivariate analyses revealed that the mean amount of lymphorrhoea rises gradually as EBL, patients age, negative lymph nodes and lymphadenectomy extension increases (P

The microsurgical varicocelectomy is the gold standard treatment with a low recurrence rate and less postoperative complications. We compared the surgical outcomes and difficulty in intra-operative vascular Doppler ultrasound-assisted microscopic varicocelectomy (IVDU-MV) with MV in primary and recurrent varicocele. A total of 228 infertile patients with clinically palpable varicocele were included in the study. One hundred fifteen patients were operated on with the standard MV approach, whereas the other 113 patients were operated on with IVDU-MV. Perioperative outcomes, sperm parameters and operative difficulty of the procedure were evaluated. The operative times were significantly shorter for the IVDU-MV group for primary and recurrent varicocele (p = .001). Mean number of veins ligated for primary and recurrent varicocele was significantly higher in the IVDU-MV group than in the MV group (6 +/- 1.4 vs. 4.8 +/- 1.8 and 3.7 +/- 0.9 vs. 2.9 +/- 1.2; p < .01). The increase in mean sperm motility was significantly higher in the IVDU-MV group for both primary and recurrent varicocelectomy patients (p < .05). A significant number of IVDU-MV procedures were described as easy in both primary and recurrent varicocelectomy procedures (p = .006). The use of Doppler ultrasound(US) revealed advantages in ligating veins, preserving arteries and improving sperm motility and facilitates the operation for the surgeon, especially during recurrent varicocele repair.

Objectives: To investigate the characteristics of cases of NIH category I acute prostatitis developed after transrectal prostate biopsy and clarifiy the risk factors and preventive factors. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 3.479 cases of transrectal ultrasound-guided needle biopsies performed with different prophylactic antibiotherapy regimens at two different institutions between January 2011 and February 2016. The patients of Group I have received ciprofloxacin (n=1.523, 500mg twice daily) and the patients of Group II have received ciprofloxacin plus ornidazole (n=1.956, 500mg twice daily) and cleansing enema combination as prophylactic antibiotherapy. The incidence, clinical features and other related microbiological and clinical data, were evaluated. Results: Mean age was 62.38 +/- 7.30 (47-75), and the mean prostate volume was 43.17 +/- 15.20 (21-100) mL. Of the 3.479 patients, 39 (1.1%) developed acute prostatitis after the prostate biopsy procedure. Of the 39 cases of acute prostatitis, 28/3.042 occurred after the first biopsy and 11/437 occurred after repeat biopsy (p=0.038). In Group I, 22 of 1.523 (1.4%) patients developed acute prostatitis. In Group II, 17 of 1.959 (0.8%) patients developed acute prostatitis. There was no statistical difference between the two groups according to acute prostatitis rates (X2=2.56, P=0.11). Further, hypertension or DM were not related to the development of acute prostatitis (P=0.76, X2=0.096 and P=0.83, X2=0.046, respectively). Conclusions: Repeat biopsy seems to increase the risk of acute prostatitis, while the use of antibiotics effective for anaerobic pathogens seems not to be essential yet.

Objectives To evaluate the outcome of endoscopic treatment of symptomatic vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) in patients with VUR in both transplanted and native renal units. Material and Methods Between January 2014 and December 2019, 23 transplanted patients with symptomatic VUR with reflux in both transplanted and native kidney were included in the study. All patients were patients with a history of kidney failure due to reflux nephropathy. A voiding cystourethrography was performed after at least 1 episode of acute glomerulo pyelonephritis or deterioration of the graft function. All patients underwent a urine culture and an ultrasonic evaluation preoperatively. A dextranomer/hyaluronic acid bulking agent was injected via endoscope by a rigid metal needle around a double J stent. Clinical success was defined as absent of febrile urinary tract infection during the follow-up period. Results The procedure was applied in 52 effected renal units; of these, 27 were transplanted kidneys, and 25 were native kidneys. Overall clinical success was achieved in 69.6% (N = 16) of patients. The success rate after the first procedure was 52.2% (N = 12), whereas 17.3% (N = 4) achieved success after the second treatment. No intraoperative complications occurred throughout the endoscopic procedure. Minor postoperative complications included 2 (10%) cases of self-limiting episodes of hematuria that did not require intervention. Conclusion Endoscopic treatment of symptomatic VUR for both transplanted ureter and native ureter is a safe treatment in most of the patients. Therefore, endoscopic ureteral injection is a treatment modality with low morbidity that should be preferred to open surgery as first-line treatment in this subgroup of patients.

To report on an ascending radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) technique and determine whether this technique has better perioperative, oncological and functional outcomes than the standard RRP technique applied in our clinic Material and Methods:The perioperative and functional outcomes of the 246 patients that underwent standard RRP (N = 150) or modified RRP (N = 96) were evaluated, retrospectively. In the modified RRP technique the dorsal vasculare complex (DVC) was controlled at first. Thereafter, the bladder neck was incised at the prostate-vesical junction. After seminal vesicles and vasa were exposed, posterior dissection was continued until to the apex. Finally, the urethra was divided. To assess the differences between the two groups the independent sample T-test and chi-square test were used.The mean volume of estimated blood loss (EBL) was significantly longer in the standard RRP group than in the modified RRP group (610 vs. 210 ml, respectively; P= .001). The mean operative time (OT) was significantly less in the modified RRP group (177 vs. 134 min, respectively; P = .003), as were the transfusion rate TR (P = .041). With regard to the rate of postoperative complications, a statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups (P = .014). Continence rates after 3 and 12 months postoperatively were 98.95% and 98.95 % in the modified RRP group, and 97.33% and 98.66% in the standard RRP group, respectively ( P = .83).We observed that the EBL, TR and OT were significantly lower when we applied the modified RRP technique to patients. This modified technique might be applicable for institutions as an alternative procedure for the standard RRP technique.

BACKROUND: To evaluate the factors including pelvic dimensions, which might influence operative difficulty and complications after open radical cystoprostatectomy and orthotopic neobladder reconstruction in men. METHODS: A total of 198 RC patients operated in our institution with preoperative magnetic resonance (MRI) were analyzed were included in the study. Pelvic dimensions, including interspinous distance (ISD), bony femoral - (BFW) and soft tissue width (SW), apical prostate depth (AD), upper conjugate (UC), lower conjugate (LC) were measured by preoperative MRI. BFW, ISD, and SW indexes were defined as BFW/AD, ISD/AD, and SW/AD, respectively. Complicatons were classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system. As indicators of surgical difficulty; transfusion rate (TR), estimated blood loss (EBL), operative time (OT) and hospital stay (HS) were assessed. SPSS version 17.0 was used for statistical analyses. RESULTS: A total of 239 complications developed in 143 of the 198 patients (72.2%). Correlation analysis revealed a significant indirect relationship between TR and SW/AD (P=0.023). For EBL, there were significant indirect correlations between the SW/AD, BFW/AD and ISD/AD indexes (P=0.026, P=0.05, P=0.009; respectively). Additionally, OT was directly correlated body mass index (BMI) (P=0.001); and indirectly correlated with UC, SW/AD, and BFW/AD (P=0.047, P=0.038, P=0.016, respectively). On multivariate logistic regression analyses higher American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) score was associated with major complications. Multivariate analyses revealed that pathological stage was a significant predictor of EBL. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with smaller pelvises might undergo more difficult surgeries. However, it seems that small sized pelvis does not impact on operative difficulty and complication rate in radical cystoprostatectomy and orthotopic neobladder. WOS:000477976400009 31086130 Q1

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to compare the different surgical approaches of two centers on outcomes of live donor laparoscopic nephrectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS The first 98 patients of each centre who underwent laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) or hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (HALDN) were included in the study. The following data were used for analyses: donor age, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), transfusion requirement, operative time, ischemia time and postoperative complications. RESULTS Median age, BMI, operation time and estimated blood loss (EBL) was 47.29 years, 27.91 kg/m2, 110.73 minutes, and 78.95 mL, respectively. Operation time was significantly shorter in the HALDN group (t=-3.554, p 0.05). No statistically significant difference was detected in the intraoperative and postoperative complication rates between two groups (p>0.05). The postoperative complication rate was 7.14% (n=7) and 6.12% (n=6) in the LDN and HALDN groups, respectively. There were two patients with conversion to open surgery in the HALDN group because of lumbar vein injury. CONCLUSION The operative and postoperative outcomes for the two techniques were found to be similar. The HALDN technique preserves the benefits of minimally invasive surgery. In experienced urologic laparoscopy centres both techniques promise similar success rates.

Background The aim of the study was to characterise urological complications after renal transplantation and to evaluate the role of minimally invasive management for urological complications. Methods A total of 920 kidney transplantations were performed between 2008 and 2015. All patients were followed up for at least 1 year after transplantation. Complications regarded as urological were urinary leakage, ureteral stricture, urinary malignancy, bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and urinary calculi. We evaluated data from the time of occurrence of urological complications and the type of the management prescribed. Results Among 920 transplantations performed in our clinic, 41 (4.4%) urological complications arose. Twenty (48.8%) of the complications occurred during the first 3 months and 21 (51.2%) occurred after 3 months, postoperatively. Ureteral strictures were found in 14 (34.1%) patients, urinary tract stones in seven (17%), BOO in 6 (14.6%) and urinary leakage was observed in 5 (12.1%) patients. Ureteral stricture was managed with endoscopic approach in eight (61.3%) patients. Urinary tract stones and urinary leakage were managed in 7 (100%) and 4 (75%) patients with endoscopic approach. Overall 29 (70.7%) of 41 urological complications were managed with endourological approaches. Conclusions It is likely that the importance of open surgery could decrease in the future. Endoscopic management of urological complications have come to have an important role in the treatment of urological complications after transplantation.

WOS: 000384729500007, PubMed ID: 27319275, Background: Vasculogenic erectile dysfunction is a harbinger of vascular disease. Comprehensive cardiac workup is accepted to be beneficial in men with this condition, especially those with otherwise unrecognized cardiovascular disease. We aimed to evaluate the role of two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) for noninvasive evaluation in patients with documented arteriogenic erectile dysfunction. Methods: 64 consecutive men with Doppler proven erectile dysfunction of more than 3 months of duration were recruited. Patients divided into 2 groups according to mean peak systolic velocity (PSV). Patients with PSV < 20 cm/sn constituted Group 1 and patients with PSV >= 20 cm/sn constituted Group 2. All underwent echocardiography and were compared. According to the 2D-STE analysis for the left atrium (LA); strain during ventricular systole (LARes), during late diastole (LA-Pump), strain rate during ventricular contraction (LA-SRs), during passive ventricular filling (LA-SRe), during active atrial contraction (LASRa) values and for LV; global longitudinal strain (GLS), strain rate in systole (GSRs), strain rate in early diastole (GSRe), and strain rate in late diastole (GSRa) values were obtained. Results: Beside diastolic parameters, LA-Res and LA-Pump were found to be significantly different between groups. GLS and GSR values were lower in Group 1. Moreover, correlation analysis revealed a significant correlation of GLS values with PSV (r = -0.4, P = .001). Conclusion: Myocardial deformation parameters by 2D-STE are valuable for detection of subclinical cardiovascular dysfunction in men with arteriogenic erectile dysfunction. This noninvasive method may be used as an emerging prognostic marker for risk stratification. Copyright (C) 2016, International Society for Sexual Medicine. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of flexible ureterorenoscopy (F-URS) and laser lithotripsy for the treatment of allograft kidney lithiasis. Patients and Methods In a retrospective analysis of 897 consecutive renal transplantations that were performed at our center between February 2008 and December 2014, 6 patients were found to have allograft lithiasis. F-URS and laser lithotripsy were performed 6 times on 5 patients (twice for 1 patient who had stone recurrence after 6 months). Percutaneous nephrolithotomy was used for the remaining patient. Patient demographics and stone characteristics (age, sex, stone size, stone analysis, location, history of shockwave lithotripsy) and perioperative measures (duration of operation, fluoroscopic imaging, success and complication rates) were reviewed. In addition, the technical difficulties of standard F-URS procedures in transplanted kidneys were reviewed and some facilitative techniques were defined to increase the success rate. Results A total of 5 patients underwent 6 F-URS procedures and laser lithotripsy operations for renal graft lithiasis. The mean stone size was 9.2 mm (7.5–11 mm). The mean operation and fluoroscopy times were calculated as 55 minutes (40–70 minutes) and 57.5 seconds (40–80 seconds), respectively. Treatment was successful in all patients and no severe complications or mortality occurred. One patient experienced transient hematuria and recovered within 36 hours. Conclusion F-URS is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment modality for small- and medium-sized stones in allograft kidney lithiasis.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem, inflammatory disorder characterized by the presence of noncaseating epithelioid granulomas. Sarcoidosis can involve the genitourinary system by affecting the kidney and genitals. Most characteristic genital lesions proceed to granuloma and can comprise the epididymis, testis, and vas deferens. Few case reports have been published on this rare entity. We report a case in which a man presented with bilateral epididymal sarcoidosis and severe oligospermia. Corticosteroid treatment, which was applied in gradually decreasing doses for 6 months, dissolved the testicular granuloma. Consequently, semen analysis demonstrated a significant increase in the sperm count to within normal limits.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the outcome of penile prosthesis implantation in patients with various comorbidities as a cause of erectile dysfunction (ED). The data of 181 patients who underwent surgery between 1998 and 2012 in two centers were evaluated. The mean age of the patients was 52.2 years (range: 31–71 years). The study group contained 162 patients (89.5%) with malleable prostheses and 19 (10.5%) with inflatable implants. All patients were re-evaluated 1 month later to assess prosthesis function and complications, and further re-examinations were performed if needed. Satisfaction was defined as having satisfactory intercourse and happiness with the device in general. The follow-up period was at least 12 months for each patient. The postoperative complication rate was 32% (n = 58). The number of complications with inflatable and malleable prostheses was 7 (3.9%) and 51 (28.1%), respectively. Overall, 21 prostheses (11.6%) had to be removed because of various complications and patient dissatisfaction. Patients with prior radical surgery had higher extraction rates (ƛ = 14.606, P < 0.05, Chi-square test). The main reasons for removal were erosion (n = 11; 6.1%) and infection (n = 3; 2.1%). With respect to satisfaction during intercourse, we found that 104 (57.5%) patients described themselves as very satisfied with the prosthesis, while 21 (11.6%) were unsatisfied. The high explantation rate in patients with prior surgery was remarkable in our study. Our results revealed that a malleable prosthesis should not be the preferred type of implant for patients with prior surgery.

Urethral prolapse is a circular protrusion of the distal urethra through the external meatus. It is very rare condition seen mostly in black premenercheal black girl and occasionally in postmenopausal white women. We present a case of spontaneous urethral prolapse in 63-year-old postmenopousal white women with succesful management with estrogen treatment.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the retropubic and perineal radical prostatectomy techniques on postoperative urinary continence. Material and methods: This study included patients who had undergone radical retropubic (RRP) (n=54) or radical perineal prostatectomies (RPP) (n=142) in our clinic between December 2006 and December 2010 with the indication of localized prostate cancer. Preoperative, and postoperative continence levels of the patients were evaluated on the day of catheter removal, and at 3., 6. or 12. months using University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) prostate cancer index query forms completed by the patients themselves in outpatient clinics. Results: Mean ages of the perineal, and retropubic groups were 62.3 (48-77), and 62.5 (50-74) years, respectively. The absolute urinary control rates of the RPP patients on the first days, and the first, third, sixth, and twelfth months were 44.3, 63.6, 76.2, 79.5, and 86.1%, respectively. The same rates were 51.4, 75.7, 78.4, 89.2, and 91.9% for the RRP group, respectively. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between RRP groups as for the frequency of urinary incontinence Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı; farklı diseksiyon yollarını kullanan retropubik ve perineal radikal prostatektomi tekniklerinin, postoperatif idrar kontinansı üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve yöntemler: Çalışmaya lokalize prostat kanseri nedeniyle kliniğimizde Aralık 2006-Ağustos 2010 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilen 54 Radikal Retropubik Prostatektomi (RRP) ve 142 Radikal Perineal Prostatektomi (RPP) yapılan hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların preoperatif ve postoperatif transüretral kateter çekildiği gün, 1. ay, 3. ay, 6. ay ve 12. ay kontinans değerlendirilmesi University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) Prostat Kanser Indeks sorgulama formu ile, poliklinik ortamında, formlar hastalar tarafından doldurularak yapıldı. Bulgular: Perineal grupta yaş ortalaması 62,3 (48-77) yıl, retropubik grupta ise 62,5 (50-74) yıl idi (p>0,05). İdrar kaçırma sıklığına göre kontinans değerlendirildiğinde tam idrar kontrolü olan hastalar postoperatif kateter çekildiği gün, postoperatif 1, 3, 6 ve 12. ay sonunda RPP grubunda sırası ile %44,3, %63,6, %76,2, %79,5 ve %86,1, RRP grubunda %51,4, %75,7, %78,4, %89,2 ve %91,9 olarak tespit edildi. Sonuç: Bizim çalışmamızda RPP ve RRP grupları arasında idrar kaçırma sıklığı açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır

Hemangiopericytoma, which is derived from pericytes, is rarely seen in the kidney and adical nephrectomy with or without chemotherapy is the treatment of choice in most of the cases. We report a fifty-year-old male patient presenting with gross hematuria that radiologic evaluation confirmed due to a solid mass in the right kidney. Its clinical manifestations and radiologic tests were similar to renal cell carcinoma. Radical nephrectomy was performed and the pathological examination revealed the specimen as hemangiopericytoma. No additional treatment was added and the patient remained disease free at the end of the first year follow up after radical nephrectomy.

Objective: To evaluate the treatment modalities of total ureteral avulsion and to clarify the risk factors of this serious complication. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the data of 3 patients with complete ureteral avulsion during ureteroscopy. Of the three patients, two had distal ureteral complete avulsion, and one total ureteral avulsion on both ends. Ureteroneocystostomy (UNC) was immediately performed after distal ureteral avulsion cases. Ileal ureter substition was performed on the same session after the total ureteral avulsion in both ends. Two of the patients were under chronic use of corticosteroid treatment due to diagnosis of idiopathic trombocytopenic purpura and myastenia gravis and all patients had unsuccesful shockwave litotripsy (SWL) treatment history with at least 1 month period before surgery. Results: The patient who had ileal ureter substitution was followed at 3-month intervals by ultrasonography and renal function tests and she was uneventful after a 2 year follow-up period. The patients treated with UNC were followed up at 3 month interval by ultrasonography and renal function tests. They had normal renal function 1 year after the operation Conclusion: Complete ureteral avulsion is a rare but severe complication. Treatment modality can vary and ileal ureter can be applied succesfully in the total ureter avulsion in both ends when bladder capacity is not enough for a Boari flap. Failed SWL and/or corticosteroid treatment history of patients seems to increase the risk of the ureteral avulsion.

Metastatic malignant melanoma of the prostate is extremely rare in clinical practice, and only one case has been reported in the English literature in the past 30 years. We report a case of malignant melanoma that metastasized to the prostate and review the current literature. A 50-year-old man with a history of malignant melanoma metastasis to the left axilla, which was excised 3 years ago, presented with lower urinary tract symptoms and gross hematuria. He underwent cystoscopy and transurethral resection of the prostate. The pathological examination showed metastatic malignant melanoma of the prostate gland. The patient died 6 months after the transurethral resection.
