September 15, 2014 updated by: Min Chul Cho, DongGuk University

Does Postoperative Pyuria Influence Treatment Outcomes After Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP)?: A Short-term Serial Follow-up Study

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.
