Abstract:With the development of science and technology, various new treatments such as laser treatment system, the minimally invasive treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, are gradually applied in clinical practice. The treatment can effectively improve the urinary tract symptoms, and show a more and more advantages in reducing intraoperative complications, which may replace TURP as the gold standard treatment.
