  • Title: Does gland histopathology correlate with mode of presentation and surgical complications in benign prostatic hyperplasia?
    Author: Elmalik EM, Ibrahim AI, Ghali AM, Murad N, Rashid M.
    Journal: East Afr Med J; 1997 Sep; 74(9):586-90. PubMed ID: 9487437.
    Abstract:
    The histopathology specimens from 256 consecutive prostatectomies were retrospectively analysed and classified into three categories namely BPH alone, BPH and an inflammatory lesion and adenocarcinoma. Mode of presentation (acute urine retention versus prostatism) as well as short term post-operative complications, namely, haemorrhage and genitourinary infection were compared in the three histological categories to study the impact of histology on clinical presentation and complications. There were no significant differences between the three categories neither in presentation nor in complications. We conclude that prostate gland histology neither correlates with the onset of acute urine retention nor with the surgical complications studied in this report.
