TURP content should move to own article

edit

Most of the Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) section here should move to the Transurethral resection of the prostate article. - Rod57 (talk) 15:27, 28 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Agreed.
Also agreed. Sorry, I didn't see this entry and posted a similar request below. If all agree, the section should thus be moved? Ronsword (talk) 23:07, 7 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Restructuring of Article

edit

Hi all. I wanted to restructure this article to fit the Wikipedia Manual of Style for medicine-related articles. Outline structure (very similar to manual of style outline for surgeries and procedures): Medical uses, Contra-indications, Technique and approaches (where the majority of the current article information would go), Risks/Complications, Recovery, Epidemiology, History, Costs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrPFili (talkcontribs) 21:49, 28 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Peer Review

edit

Hello! Some additional thoughts on the page. I really like the way you've restructured the outline to comply with the Wiki Manual of Style; it would be great to have content added in all the new blocked areas! Additionally, the content that exists in the Technique and approaches section would benefit from additional citations/literature references. Also, if you have a chance, it'd be great to simplify the language in the intro section; words like "benign" and anatomical terms can be difficult to understand with the article as it is currently. The bullets at the end of the intro section also seem a bit awkward and could use a bit of cleaning up. You have a great plan, now just need to fill in some of the blanks! Keep up the good work.

Comment re: peer review

In reading the comments and the article I would echo much of what FutureFamDoc said. The outline looks good. Sections of the line need to be filled in and referenced. I think even further simplification of wording in the lead might be useful. This of course depends on what function you envision for the lead section! Good work by both reviewer and reviewee.

Remove section on TURP?

edit

Under the section "Techniques and approaches" which outlines several methods to prostatectomy, a brief discussion on TURP is included. However, since TURP is not prostatectomy, should this section be modified or eliminated altogether? Perhaps, brief mention of TURP as it might apply to secondary treatment for prostate cancer (i.e. its use in reducing enlargement that interferes with urination, etc.) would be more accurate?

Cochrane review information

edit

I added information about comparisons between regularity of medication for penile rehabilitation from a Cochrane review to help inform readers of the impacts of the various options.--Gsom12812 (talk) 16:10, 24 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
