To the Editor, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the main causes of patients seeking urological counselling in Western countries. It has been estimated that nearly 70 percent of United States men between the ages of 60 and 69 years, and nearly 80 percent of men ≥ 70 years, have some degree of BPH [...].

Objectives: To dene the diagnostic accuracy of intravesical protrusion of prostate (IPP), bladder wall thickness (BWT) and prostate volume (PV) in diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and prediction of future acute urinary retention (AUR). A prospective Materials and methods: study of 127 patients, presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were enrolled with 50 patients among them manifesting AUR. 35 normal persons were selected as control group. After inclusion, all patients underwent transabdominal ultrasound and pressure ow urodynamic study (UDS). UDS parameter, BOO index (BOOI) were used as a reference standard for stratifying the patients into two groups, BOO and non-BOO. The sono-morphological parameters, IPP, BWT and PV were used to compare between these two groups with calculating the diagnostic accuracy for each individual index. IPP, BWT Results: and PV had statistically signicant difference between group 1 (BOOI < 40) and 2 ( BOOI > 40) with strong correlation with BOOI. The Pearson's correlation coefcient (r) for IPP, BWT and PV were 0.762, 0.702 and 0.660 respectively. The AUC for IPP, BWT and PV were 0.824, 0.786 and 0.650 with highest accuracy for IPP (79.2%) at cutoff value of 7 mm. Using the same threshold value, IPP had higher statistical difference than BWT in predicting AUR with similar diagnostic accuracy of IPP and BWT together. IPP and BWT in conjunction with PV in place Conclusions: of UDS had good clinical utility in diagnosis of BOO due to BPH and future AUR prediction.

Background: Intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) is a manifestation of benign prostatic hyperplasia marked by overgrowth of the prostatic median lobe into the bladder, producing bladder outlet obstruction and related storage and voiding symptoms. Methods: A MEDLINE® database search of the current literature was guided using combination of “prostate” with the following terms: intravesical prostatic protrusion, bladder trabeculation, bladder outlet obstruction, lower urinary tract symptoms, alpha blockers, transrectal ultrasonography, and prostatectomy. Results: Although IPP can be identified via a variety of imaging modalities, it is easily detected via transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS). Failing to detect IPP promptly by TRUS may result in refractory symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, as the condition may not respond to typical α1-adrenoceptor antagonist therapy. In addition, depending on grade, IPP can influence outcomes and complications of prostatectomies. Conclusion: Upon report of lower urinary tract symptoms, initial performance of TRUS along with digital rectal examination prevents delay in the appropriate evaluation and management of prostatic diseases.
