[Clinical value of suprapubic prostate and urinary bladder sonography]
Zeitschrift Fur Urologie Und Nephrologie
|June 1, 1986
Summary
Suprapubic sonography accurately assesses prostate size and residual urine in 100 patients. This painless imaging technique is a valuable, safe tool for urological diagnostics, replacing many transurethral procedures.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Medical Imaging
- Diagnostic Techniques
Context:
- Prospective study involving 100 patients considered for prostate surgery (TUR, adenomectomy, radical operation).
- Evaluation of suprapubic sonography for prostate and urinary bladder assessment.
- Comparison with established clinical, transurethral, and radiological methods, including specimen weight.
Purpose:
- To present the clinical value of suprapubic sonography in prostate diagnostics.
- To specifically assess the accuracy of sonography in determining adenoma size and residual urine volume.
- To compare sonographic findings with reference diagnostic methods.
Summary:
- Prospective study of 100 patients undergoing or considered for prostate surgery.
- Suprapubic sonography demonstrated high accordance with reference methods for assessing prostate adenoma size and residual urine.
- The technique is painless, safe, and effective for urological diagnostics.
Impact:
- Suprapubic sonography is established as an integral part of urological diagnostics.
- This imaging modality effectively replaces a significant portion of traditional transurethral examination methods.
- Enhances diagnostic accuracy and patient comfort in prostate evaluations.
