“…TRUS was performed by means of an Esaote AU5 harmonic EPI and a 5±6-7.5 MHz biconvex (Esaote, Genoa, Italy) transrectal transducer with Power Echo color Doppler (PECD) module to display prostate angiographic micromaps (19,20). The transducer, preliminarily covered with ultrasound transmission gel (Acquasonic, Parker Lab., NJ, USA) and a disposable rubber sheath, was lubricated and gradually inserted about 3 cm into the rectum, then directed towards the anterior rectal wall.…”

“…Prostatic volume (PV) and the volume of the transitional zone were calculated by means of the standard ellipsoid formula (0.52!AP diameter!TR diameter!CC diameter). PV exceeding 30 ml was considered hyperplastic prostate (9).…”

“…The eighth question refers to the patient's perceived quality of life. The first seven questions of the IPSS are identical to the questions appearing on the American Urological Association (AUA) Symptom Index, which currently categorizes symptoms as follows: mild (symptom score %7), moderate (symptom score range [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], and severe (symptom score range 20-35) (10,11). IPSS has been previously validated in our population (Santosh Kumar and SK Singh, unpublished data).…”
