About

The aim of this study was to identify serial changes in the incidence of postoperative pyuria after the Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP), to determine whether the presence of postoperative pyuria could be correlated with surgical outcomes after surgery and to identify predicting factors that influence on persistent pyuria after the PVP.

Enrollment: 120 estimated patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 40 to 90 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• sterile urine on urinalysis and urine culture before surgery
• absence of indwelling urethral catheter before surgery

Exclusion criteria

• previous diagnosis of prostate carcinoma or bladder cancer
• co-existence of urinary stone
• any antibiotic treatment within 2-weeks before surgery
