Does Surgical Treatment for Benign Prostate Enlargement (BPE)-Related Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO) Benefit Patients with Central Nervous System Diseases? A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) resulting from benign prostate enlargement (BPE) is a common cause of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men. Patients with central nervous system (CNS) diseases, such as spinal cord injury (SCI), Parkinson's disease (PD), cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and multiple systemic atrophy (MSA), commonly experience lower urinary tract dysfunction. Men who suffer from CNS diseases may also experience symptoms related to BPE and BOO, which pose an additional burden to their overall clinical status and result in the need for catheter use and a deterioration in quality of life. The aim of this study was to identify if prostate surgery will benefit men with CNS diseases who have been diagnosed with BPE-related BOO. Methods: The
