Abstract: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common causes of lower urinary tract symptoms in aged males.Many patients with BPH may go on to require surgical intervention.At present,transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the gold standard for BPH treatment owing to its minimal damage,low cost,and long-term efficacy.However,many complications associated with TURF represent major drawbacks of this procedure.These complications include hemorrhage,perforation of the prostatic capsule,urinary incontinence,retrograde ejaculation,urethral stricture,bladder neck spasm,transurethral resection syndrome (TURS),and more.The incidence of long-term complications is 32.14%.[1] TURS is one of the most serious complications with an incidence of2%.[2] TURS can lead to death if not treated promptly.Due to the high incidence of complications,surgical treatment with TURP has been limited.
