What surgical methods are available for treating prostate stones?

Patient's question:

My uncle discovered prostate stones during a hospital ultrasound and the doctor said he needed surgery. I'm not familiar with this and would like to consult about the situation regarding prostate stones. What are the different surgical methods for treating prostate stones?

Doctor's answer:

Several Treatment Methods
1. Traditional Surgical Rescue
The most common method of traditional surgical rescue is transurethral resection of the prostate and stones. For deep-seated prostate stones and easily recurring stones, a transperineal total prostatectomy can be performed to remove the prostate and stones. If necessary, bilateral seminal vesicles may be resected. For large and easily recurring stones accompanied by benign prostatic hyperplasia, suprapubic resection of the prostate and stones is recommended.
2. Minimally Invasive Surgical Rescue
The characteristic of minimally invasive surgery is to utilize advanced instruments and highly skilled techniques to achieve the same therapeutic effects as conventional surgery through the smallest incisions.
