EAU guidelines on the treatment and follow-up of non-neurogenic male lower urinary tract symptoms including benign prostatic obstruction. (2013, background): “In a recent analysis of 20 contemporary RCTs published between 2005 and 2009 and a maximum follow-up of 5 yr, TURP resulted in a substantial improvement of mean Qmax (+162%) and a significant reduction of mean IPSS ( 70%), mean QoL scores ( 69%), and mean PVR urine ( 77%) [80].”
A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Functional Outcomes and Complications Following Transurethral Procedures for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Resulting from Benign Prostatic Obstruction: An Update. (2015, background): “In the past 2 decades, a wide range of innovative transurethral procedures have challenged the supremacy of the two standard surgical options (monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate [M-TURP] and open prostatectomy [OP]) [2].”
