    Author: Tkachuk VN, Al'-Shukri SKh, Tkachuk IN.
    Journal: Urologiia; 2008; (1):27, 29, 31. PubMed ID: 18652018.
    Abstract:
    Finasteride effect before transurethral resection (TUR) of the prostatic gland was studied in 88 patients with prostatic adenoma (PA). Forty seven patients received prosteride (Gedeon Richter), forty one patients - proscar (MSD) in a dose 5 mg/day for 3 months. Finasteride reduced blood flow in prostatic tissue, density of the vascular plexus, epithelium/stroma coefficient from 1.26 to 0.84. This decreased intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hematuria, TUR duration, postoperative rehabilitation, number of early and late TUR complications.
