Does minimally invasive prostate surgery pose risks?

Patient's question:

Since the beginning of last month, I've been feeling some pain in my penis, sometimes it still hurts. At the time, I thought it was something like an intestinal infection or recurring inflammation, so I took some antibiotics. But it didn't help at all; instead, it got worse. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, they said it was benign prostatic hyperplasia and that surgery would be needed. Is the risk of minimally invasive prostate surgery high?

Doctor's answer:

Any surgery carries certain risks. Although this is a minor procedure, it may also be accompanied by local injuries, such as recurrent urethral damage, excessive forceful manipulation during endoscopic procedures, or an unsuitable surgical approach, all of which may lead to complications like urethral bleeding, edema, etc. Additionally, the surgery may also carry the risk of secondary skin abrasions. Therefore, doctors provide detailed documentation before the surgery and have it stamped.
