Evolution of the Endoscopic Surgical Approach for Benign Prostatic Obstruction in European Countries
European treatment choices for lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to BPO have evolved towards increasingly diversified endoscopic surgical options, including laser and MIST procedures alongside TURP. Data on LOS and daycase activity illustrate that laser and MIST procedures have a low impact on capacity in comparison to TURP. This may help in alleviating hospital capacity constraints, improving resource allocation, and reducing surgical waiting lists.
