Abstract:
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a gold standard for the treatment of BPH. However, for large-volume BPH, TURP has its disadvantages of longer operation time, more residual glands, more intraoperative bleeding, lower efficiency, and longer hospital stay, which increase the risks of surgery and postoperative symptomatic recurrence. Therefore, minimally invasive treatment of large-volume BPH remains a clinical challenge. This paper focuses on the status quo and prospects of minimally invasive treatment of large-volume BPH, hoping to give some help with clinical practice.
