“…The CLasP study showed that TURP was found significantly effective to relieve LUTS, improve Qmax and health-related quality of life (HRQL), decrease PVR (post-void residual), and showed comparable outcome to low power laser coagulation therapy (19). Also, several complications of BPH that are strong indications of TURP are [1] recurrent urinary retention, [2] recurrent hematuria after being swept with 5a-reductase inhibitors, [3] renal insufficiency or superior urinary tract dilatation, [4] bladder stones in the urinary tract, [5] recurrent urinary tract infections (13). This is consistent with the results of the study that the TURP indications are recurrent urinary retention (54.9%), urinary tract stones (21%), failure of medical therapy (10.5 %), hernia or hemorrhoids (8%), severe LUTS (3.7%), and renal insufficiency (1.9%).…”
