Combination of transurethral resection of the prostate and flexible and rigid ureteroscopy for benign prostatic hyperplasia and ureteral calculus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Combination of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and flexible and rigid ureteroscopy (URS/RIRS) is a successful approach for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and ureteral calculus (UC), and the sequence is URS/RIRS followed by TURP. This research aims to compare TURP followed by URS/RIRS with URS/RIRS followed by TURP in terms of clinical efficiency and safety.

Methods

From June 2009 to June 2021, 173 patients with BPH and upper urinary tract stones were recruited through the Harrison International Peace Hospital and were divided into intervention (TURP followed by URS/RIRS) and control groups (URS/RIRS followed by TURP). We collected demographic data, primary outcomes including urinary function, and secondary outcomes including surgic
