Is minimally invasive surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia a postoperative complication?

Patient's question:

Preoperative history of vesicoureteral reflux, 4 months post-minimally invasive surgery. Ultrasound shows partial prostatectomy post-surgery, with a size of approximately 3.82.6 CM. A strong echo spot measuring about 1.00.8 CM is clearly visible within it. Residual urine volume is 600 ML. A cystic mass measuring approximately 6.46.5 CM is clearly visible on the left posterior wall of the bladder. No significant changes compared to preoperative findings. The patient again experiences urinary difficulties, similar to preoperative symptoms, and undergoes another cystoscopic resection. It is said to be scar fibrosis—is this a postoperative complication?

Doctor's answer:

Postoperative wound tissue hyperplasia caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery. It is recommended that you pay close attention to observing the patient's condition and conduct regular check-ups and diagnoses as needed. Medications that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis may be used if necessary. The condition of benign prostatic hyperplasia tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. Additionally, for male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Furthermore, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
