Patient's question:
Male, 38 years old, has visited the hospital many times back and forth, but the effect is always not obvious, and the condition has been recurring. Please ask: How is the surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) performed?Doctor's answer:
Surgical methods for benign prostatic hyperplasia are relatively numerous, and they are basically consistent. Nowadays, traditional open surgeries are rarely performed. Instead, endoscopic surgeries, also known as minimally invasive surgeries, are conducted. These procedures cause less psychological trauma compared to open surgeries. The instruments are inserted through the natural urethra to reach the prostate, where they can remove the enlarged prostate tissue and restore its function. Currently, there are two main methods: the first is transurethral resection, specifically the plasma resection, and the second is laser resection. Both methods are viable options.
