Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of death among men all over the world. Prostate removal surgery is one of the treatment options for prostate cancer patients.

In recent years, a new technique called TURIS (Transurethral Resection In Saline) has emerged for prostate removal. This method has shown some promising results and is seen as a revolutionary technique for prostate removal. This article discusses in detail the TURIS method and its latest data.

What is TURIS?

TURIS is a minimally invasive surgical technique for the removal of the prostate gland. The procedure involves filling the bladder with saline solution to create a clear view of the prostate gland.

A scope is then inserted through the urethra into the bladder, which provides a clear image of the prostate gland. A special instrument called a resectoscope is then inserted, which uses an electrical current to remove the prostate tissue. The saline solution helps to reduce the risk of complications and provides a clear image for the surgeon.

Latest Data on TURIS

Several studies have been carried out to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TURIS. A recent study published in the Journal of Endourology compared TURIS with traditional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).

The study involved 150 patients who were either randomized to undergo TURIS or TURP. The results showed that there was no significant difference in terms of efficacy and complication rates between TURIS and TURP. However, the study did show that TURIS had a shorter duration of catheterization and reduced blood loss compared to TURP.

Another study published in the World Journal of Urology evaluated the long-term outcomes of TURIS. The study analyzed data from 363 patients who had undergone TURIS between 2009 and 2016.

The results showed that TURIS had a durable and long-term effect on urinary symptoms and quality of life, with a low risk of complications. The study concluded that TURIS is an effective method for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer.

Advantages of TURIS

TURIS has several advantages compared to other prostate removal techniques. Some of these advantages include:.

Minimally invasive procedure
Reduced risk of complications
Reduced blood loss
Shorter duration of catheterization
Durable and long-term effect on urinary symptoms and quality of life

Disadvantages of TURIS

While TURIS has several advantages, it also has some disadvantages. Some of these disadvantages include:.

Higher cost compared to other prostate removal techniques
Requires specialized equipment and surgeons
Not suitable for all patients

Conclusion

TURIS is a new and revolutionary technique for prostate removal. It has shown promising results in terms of efficacy and safety. The latest data suggests that TURIS is an effective method for the treatment of BPH and prostate cancer.

However, TURIS does have some disadvantages, including higher cost and specialized equipment and surgeons. Overall, TURIS is a valuable addition to the arsenal of prostate removal techniques and can be considered a viable option for select patients.
