title: [Anatomoradiologic correlations in prostate benign hypertrophy. Report of a series of 220 cases].
abstract: In our daily practice, the reliability of ultrasonography (US) and digital rectal examination (DRE) is limited by many factors. The aim of our study is to correlate between the prostatic volume assessed by the DRE, the pre operative US results and the actual weight of the enucleated or endoscopic resection benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We report a serie of 220 patients with BPH treated by endoscopic resection or by open surgery. The mean age is 65 years (40-90 years old). Ultrasonography was performed in 92% of the cases, and transrectal ultrasound only in 8%. All our patients either underwent endoscopic resection (49.6%) or adenomectomy (50.4%). We found a high correlation between the prostatic volume assessed by DRE and by ultrasonography (r = 0.79; P < 0.0001) and the weight of the piece of surgical adenomectomy (r = 0.701, P < 0.0001). However, the volume of benign prostatic hyperplasia assessed by US did not correlate with the piece of endoscopic resection (r = 0.214, P < 0.05). This study and a review of recent literature enabled us to notice the various anatomical and radiological factors implicated in this correlation.
