Minimally invasive prostate surgery is an effective means of treating prostate hyperplasia, which can well improve the condition and the quality of life of patients, but there are also some disadvantages.
Advantages of minimally invasive prostate surgery: effectively removing the hyperplasia gland, restoring smooth urination, relieving prostate obstruction, reducing the symptoms of frequent urination and weak urination, making urination more fluent, effectively reducing the risk of urinary retention, reducing recurrent infections, and effectively preventing dilatation of the kidneys and ureters to accumulate water.
Disadvantages of minimally invasive prostate surgery:
1. Urinary incontinence: sphincter muscle damage may occur after surgery, resulting in transient urinary incontinence, and the percentage of occurrence is relatively high. It usually occurs after the removal of the urinary catheter after surgery or within a few months after the removal of the urinary catheter, and the vast majority of incontinence can be recovered.
2. Infection: after the formation of surgical wounds, often prone to inflammation, such as urinary tract infection, glans penis and other complications. Often accompanied by frequent urination, urinary urgency, urinary pain. Generally through anti-inflammatory treatment, most of the inflammation can be controlled.
3. Urethral stenosis: As the intraoperative instruments have to look at the prostate through the urethra, the urethra may be damaged during the operation of the instruments, although the prostate is effectively treated, when the urethra is damaged, resulting in urethral stenosis, and urination difficulties will also occur.
It is recommended that patients go to the regular hospital by a professional doctor to be scientific treatment, and strive for early recovery.
