There are two general types of surgeries to treat prostate enlargement. The first type is the traditional open surgery, where an incision is made in the lower abdomen, through which a separation is made to reach the prostate gland and the enlarged prostate tissue is removed. This type of surgery has a history of hundreds of years and is still used today. The other type of surgery is minimally invasive surgery, which does not require an incision in the body and is performed through special instruments in the urethra, and includes surgical procedures such as prostate electrocision and holmium laser enucleation. At present, minimally invasive surgery is the mainstream method of treating prostate enlargement. Objectively speaking, in today’s highly developed medical science and technology, both types of surgeries for treating BPH bring significantly less pain to patients, and due to advances in the science of surgical monitoring and anesthesia, patients will feel little pain during the entire surgical process. However, due to the nature of the surgery itself, open surgeries are more traumatic than minimally invasive surgeries, e.g., there is more intraoperative bleeding, and the patient may require a blood transfusion. In addition, open surgery is slower to recover after surgery, hospitalization time is longer, and most of the patients with prostate enlargement are elderly, often accompanied by other organs and systems of chronic diseases, poor health, so the general surgery risk is greater than minimally invasive surgery. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a representative of minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of prostatic hyperplasia, compared with traditional open surgery, TURP has the following advantages: (1) wide range of surgical indications, traditional open surgery is more traumatic, so some of the elderly patients with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes is often unsuitable, while the TURP on the patient’s systems have less impact on the patient, so it is difficult for some patients to bear open surgery. Therefore, TURP is still possible for some patients who are difficult to withstand open surgery; (2) short operation time: because there is no need for abdominal incision, all surgical operations are carried out in the urethra, so the operation time is short, and most of the patients bleed very little during the operation, and do not need transfusion; (3) fast postoperative recovery, usually the second day after the operation can get out of bed, and the recovery goes well after the operation, 6-7 days after the discharge, which is the traditional surgery can not be realized. Therefore, patients and friends can rest assured that they do not have concerns about prostate surgery in order to get timely and correct treatment.
