Abstract:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases in elderly men. Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), as an important BPH treatment, is also the most effective way to relieve prostatic obstruction. However, postoperative complications, such as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), infection, hematuria and bladder neck contracture, may still occur, which seriously impact the therapeutic effect and patients' quality of life. The wound healing after BPH surgery is closely associated with the occurrence of postoperative complications. Therefore, comprehensively understanding the influencing factors of wound healing and designing tailored interventions will be particularly important for reducing postoperative complications of BPH.
