| Popis: | Introduction . Currently, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is diagnosed in 50 % of men aged 50 and older and in 80 % of men aged 80 and older. The most effective treatment method is surgical removal of prostate adenoma. It allows to quickly remove infravesical urinary tract obstruction, but at the same time it increases the risk of erectile dysfunction, one of the most important possible complications. The rate of this complication was significantly decreased by implementation of modern laser technology in urological practice. The study considers the effect of different methods of endoscopic removal of BPH on erectile function (EF): mono- and bipolar transurethral resection (TUR) of the prostate, holmium (HoLEP) and thulium (ThuLEP) laser enucleation, prostate vaporization. Evolution of modern laser technologies and changes in approaches to preservation of EF in treatment of prostate adenoma are presented. The study objective is to discuss possible mechanisms of EF disorders after endoscopic surgeries for BPH removal, as well as to identify which of the mechanisms is the most probable cause of postoperative erectile dysfunction. Conclusion . According to the available data, such methods as bipolar TUR of the prostate, HoLEP, and ThuLEP do not negatively affect erection in any significant way. Moreover, in some cases its recovery is significantly quicker after ThuLEP; therefore, the last method is recommended for patients interested in quick EF recovery. |
