AB  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation of the degrees of intravesical 
      prostatic protrusion (IPP) measured by transabdominal ultrasound with the 
      clinical evaluation parameters in BPH patients. METHODS: We measured the length 
      of IPP in the mid-sagittal section by transabdominal ultrasound in 275 BPH 
      outpatients with lower urinary tract symptoms, and analyzed the correlations of 
      the degree of IPP with the age, prostatic volume (PV), international prostatic 
      symptom score (IPSS), maximum uroflow rate (Qmax), and postvoid residual urine 
      volume (PVR) of the patients. RESULTS: The degree of IPP was correlated 
      positively with the age (r = 0.210, P < 0.01), PV (r = 0.534, P < 0.01) and PVR 
      (r = 0.314, P < 0.01), but negatively with the Qmax (r = -0.364, P < 0.01) of the 
      BPH patients. There was no significant correlation between the degree of IPP and 
      IPSS (r = 0.064, P = 0.299). CONCLUSION: The degree of IPP may be associated with 
      the age and prostatic volume of BPH patients. Transabdominal ultrasound 
      measurement of IPP is a useful noninvasive method to assess the presence and 
      severity of bladder outlet obstruction in BPH patients.
