Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Patient Outcomes in Various Robotic-Assisted Simple Prostatectomy Approaches <i>vs</i> Prostate Enucleation in Large Prostates: A Systematic Review and Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis
In this study, we compared two modern surgical approaches for treating enlarged prostates over 80 g-robotic surgery and laser/electrical techniques that remove prostate tissue through the urethra. We found both approaches work equally well for improving urinary flow, with similar bleeding risks, though the robotic approach may better reduce urinary symptoms but requires longer surgery and hospital stays. This information helps doctors and patients choose the most suitable treatment option for large prostate enlargement.
