| prostatic catheter | A catheter with an angular bend near the beak; used to rise over prostatic obstruction. Synonym: catheter coude, prostatic catheter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prostatic ducts | About 20 minute canals that receive the prostatic secretion from the glandular tubules and discharge it through openings on either side of the urethral crest in the posterior wall of the urethra. Synonym: ductuli prostatici, ductus prostatici, prostatic ducts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prostatic ductules | About 20 minute canals that receive the prostatic secretion from the glandular tubules and discharge it through openings on either side of the urethral crest in the posterior wall of the urethra. Synonym: ductuli prostatici, ductus prostatici, prostatic ducts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prostatic fluid | Succus prostaticus;a whitish secretion that is one of the constituents of the semen. (05 Mar 2000) |

| prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia | A premalignant change arising in the prostatic epithelium, regarded as the most important and most likely precursor of prostatic adenocarcinoma. The neoplasia takes the form of an intra-acinar or ductal proliferation of secretory cells with unequivocal nuclear anaplasia, which corresponds to nuclear grade 2 and 3 invasive prostate cancer. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prostatic massage | Manual expression of prostatic secretions by digital rectal technique, the emptying of prostatic sini and ducts by repeated downward compression manoeuvres, used in the treatment of various congestive and inflammatory prostatic conditions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prostatic plexus | An autonomic plexus of nerves intimately associated with the capsule of the prostate, derived from the inferior hypogastric plexus, and giving rise to the cavernous nerves to the erectile tissue of the penis; surgical injury of this plexus ofter results in impotency. Synonym: plexus prostaticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prostatic sheath | Loose fibrous, partly vascular enclosure of the prostate and its dense (true) fibrous capsule; it is continuous inferiorly with the superior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm and posteriorly becomes part of the rectovesical septum; it contains the prostatic venous plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prostatic sinus | The groove on either side of the urethral crest in the prostatic part of the urethra into which the prostatic ducts open. Synonym: sinus prostaticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prostatic urethra | The prostatic part of the male urethra, about 2.5 cm in length, that traverses the prostate; it includes the seminal colliculus, and the ejaculatory and prostatic ducts open into it. Synonym: pars prostatica urethrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prostatic utricle | A minute pouch in the prostate opening on the summit of the seminal colliculus, the analogue of the uterus and vagina in the female, being the remains of the fused caudal ends of the paramesonephric ducts. Synonym: utriculus prostaticus, masculine uterus, Morgagni's sinus, sinus pocularis, uterus masculinus, vagina masculina, vesica prostatica, Weber's organ. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prostatic venous plexus | A venous plexus, arising chiefly from the dorsal vein of the penis, situated below the base of the bladder at the sides of the prostate. See: prostaticovesical plexus. Synonym: plexus venosus prostaticus, plexus pudendalis, Santorini's labyrinth. (05 Mar 2000) |
