TRUS versus transabdominal ultrasound as a predictor of enucleated adenoma weight in patients with BPH: a tool for standard preoperative work-up?
TRUS is more accurate than transabdominal ultrasound in predicting adenoma volume in patients with BPH and its standard use might lead to fewer open approaches, with consequent less morbidity and hospitalization.
We conclude that calcified granuloma can be easily differentiated from chronic hemorrhage with corrected gradient echo phase imaging, which may obviate the need for CT for its confirmation.
