Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, your benign prostatic hyperplasia has led to multiple episodes of urinary retention. When the prostate enlarges to a certain extent, it can also cause difficulties in catheterization and increase the risk of urinary tract infections. Minimally invasive surgery of the prostate (transurethral resection of the prostate, TURP, is a type of minimally invasive surgery) differs from open surgery. This procedure poses less harm to the body and involves less bleeding. Considering your age and the frequency of recurrence, it is recommended that you undergo minimally invasive surgery, which is beneficial for your health. The risk of minimally invasive surgery is much lower compared to open surgery. Regarding postoperative outcomes, they are highly correlated with the surgeon's skill level. It is advised that you choose a minimally invasive procedure performed by a highly skilled surgeon.
