The aim of this prospective randomized study is tocompare the perioperative and functional results between laparo-scopic and robot-assisted simple prostatectomy sec. Millin (LSP andRASP) and Holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) in prostatevolumes≥120 ml. The primary endpoint will be to investigatewhether the prostate gland volume may influence perioperative andfunctional outcomes, and the secondary endpoint will evaluate thefrequency and type of postoperative complications according toClavien Dindo classification

The Epilobium species and their extracts are very popular in folk medicine, for a wide range of applications. The purpose of this review is the analysis of the pharmacological properties of Epilobium spp, considering whether their effects (e.g., anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, antimicrobial, analgesic, and antiandrogenic) could rationally justify the use of Epilobium as a treatment of numerous diseases.

Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) etiology remains poorly understood, but chronic low-grade inflammation plays a role. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) (1-50 Hz) is effective in reducing tissue inflammation. Objectives: We designed a pilot study to evaluate the effects of PEMF on prostate volume (PV) in BPH. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective interventional trial on 27 naive patients with BPH and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
