Core Tip

Core Tip: By comparing the clinical effects of transurethral columnar balloon dilatation of the prostate (TUCBDP) to the gold standard transurethral resection of the prostate in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, it was observed that although both procedures can achieve similar therapeutic effects, TUCBDP offers the additional benefits of less surgical trauma, improved recovery, and fewer surgery-associated complications.
