PMID: 30681023

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the reference standard surgical treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) related to benign prostatic enlargement. The aim of this study was to investigate the response rate following TURP in two distinctly different patient categories; men with bothersome LUTS and men in urinary retention (UR) requiring catheterisation.
