The Laser Urology Centre Arezzo Italy http://www.urologialaser.it/index_en.html
was born thanks to the experience of Doctor Stefano Mattioli, who was the italian urologist who first introduced the use of laser in urologic surgery rooms ever since 1984. Doctor Alessandro Picinotti is another promoter of the centre and the one who means to continue such procedures through divulgation and spreading of information about the use of laser in urology.
Doctor Ugo Doria and Doctor Monica Sbragi are part of the equipe as well, both of them own experience in surgery and in medical clinic. The medical staff at the centre can offer qualified information as to the most modern tecniques concerning the use of laser in urologic surgery rooms, since the medicians operate in more than one health care facility and have been gaining, over the years, knowledge and practice of the lasers on the market at present: Tullio Laser, KTP Laser and Holmium Laser.
Since 2000 the use of Holmium-Yag Laser spreads over, it can be considered the initiator of a modern era because it is still employed in urologic surgery rooms and it was the beginning of the collaboration of Doc. Mattioli and Doc. Picinotti.
In July 2002, Doc. Mattioli shows for the first time another innovative laser, especially for the treatment of prostatic hypertrophy: it was KTP Green-Light Niagara (Corriere Salute 22/10/2002) and, learning the tecnique from his Master, Doc. Picinotti uses it for the second time ever in Italy and today it is still used in some centres in Italy, including ours. The introduction of Thulium Laser, in 2004, was another foundamental stage. Once again employed for the first time in Italy by Doc. Mattioli, it combines in one instrument the features of the two previous models, with greater precision and even less side effects (which were, in any way, very scanty).

In December 2006, the friendship and professional relation which link Doc. Mattioli and Doc. Picinotti, bring to the birth of the Laser Urology Centre.

The scope of Prostrate surgery through the urethra in India is very good because of the availability of great treatment facilities and best experienced surgeons in Indias leading hospitals and medical institutes. The availability of medicines and drugs of higher quality makes India the most sought after health destination. During the treatment of Prostrate surgery, a multi disciplinary approach to care is employed that ensures the delivery of quality patient outcomes. The staffing levels of our hospitals are set in such a way that it completely ensures prompt compassionate care for every medical or surgical patient. Prostrate surgery through the urethra is a type of transurethral surgery that does not involve an external incision. The surgeon reaches the prostate by inserting an instrument through the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder and out through the penis) to remove the section of the prostate that is blocking urine flow. The instrument is called as endoscope which has a camera attached to its tip which is then attached to a monitor. The surgeon looks into the monitor that shows the enlarged prostate and then cuts out and removes the enlarged prostate using specially adapted surgical instruments. Following the surgery, a catheter is used to remove blood or blood clots in the bladder that may result from the procedure. When the urine is free of significant bleeding or blood clots, the catheter is removed and the patient can go home. The success rate of Prostrate surgery through the urethra in India is more because of the high standard clinics, hospitals that are run by well trained and educated staff. Many countries have developed links for speedy treatments in India for their citizens on account of the fact that in these countries one has to wait for extended periods of time to undergo operations.

Symptoms of prostate cancer may include the following: urinary problems, such as not being able to urinate, having a hard time starting or stopping the flow of urine, needing to urinate often, especially at night, weak flow of urine, urine flow that starts and stops, pain or burning during urination, difficulty having an erection, blood in the urine or semen, and/or frequent pain in the lower back, hips, or upper thighs. Prostate cancer usually does not cause symptoms in the beginning stages. By the time symptoms do occur, the disease may have spread beyond the prostate.

The “Prostate Cancer Treatment” report includes a review of possible signs and symptoms (such as weak flow of urine or painful ejactulation); descriptions of the various tests used for diagnosis (including digital rectal exam and prostate-specific antigen test); an explanation of the various stages of prostate cancer (Stages I, II, III, and IV); an overview of treatment options (including watchful waiting, surgery, and radation therapy); and also includes 10 pages of related medical terminology (to help you understand what your medical provider is talking about.

A unique product for men over 40, Magistral is a fast-acting, natural liquid product that consistently helps to relieve symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Magistral contains a proprietary extract of Saw Palmetto, the best-studied herb for the support of prostate health, together with four other herbs to help men maintain life-long vitality.

Magistral uses a proprietary technology to extract only the active oil portion of the Saw Palmetto berry, so Magistral contains the maximum amount of bioactivity from the Saw Palmetto plant. This is unlike most other commercially available Saw Palmetto products, which include extracts of the whole berry, including leaves and pulp, and significantly dilute the active oil portion which results in much weaker activity. Saw Palmetto helps to relieve the urological symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) (Wilt et al. 2002; Blumenthal et al. 2000).
In addition to the unusually high concentration of the active Saw Palmetto oil, Magistral also contains four carefully selected, energy-boosting vitality herbs.
Magistral has been proven to be an effective, fast-acting natural alternative for supporting prostate health.

Your doctor has recommended that you undergo a Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate – or TURP. But what exactly does that mean?

The prostate gland is a walnut-sized organ that is part of your reproductive system.

It provides some of the fluid contained in semen.

The prostate is located just under the bladder and behind the testicles.
The urethra — a hollow tube that carries both urine and semen to the penis — passes through the prostate.

In some men, the prostate gland becomes enlarged. Symptoms of an enlarged prostate include:
Patient Education
* a full bladder feeling even when the bladder is empty

* pain when urinating

* weak urinary stream

* infertility

* and sexual dysfunction.

To relieve you of your symptoms, your doctor feels that you would benefit from a surgical procedure called TURP.

TURP is designed to relieve symptoms by reducing the size of the prostate.
It is also a diagnostic procedure. Tissue removed during a resection of the prostate or TURP is routinely screened for the presence of cancer.

So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation.
