Abstract
Patients who achieved smaller prostate volumes through the use of AD maintained a significantly elevated risk (threefold) for urinary complications, commensurate with their initially large prostate volume, when compared with a control group of patients who were implanted at identical prostate volumes but who had not received AD. Therefore, patients presenting with larger prostate glands that would warrant a short course of AD before implant should be counseled accordingly when discussing options for local therapy.
