Incidence rate and protection strategy of sexual dysfunction after minimally invasive surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia / 现代泌尿外科杂志

In recent years, minimally invasive surgery has been rapidly developed and has become the first choice for the treatment of moderate to severe benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Although it can significantly improve the lower urinary tract symptoms, reduce complications, and enhance security, postoperative sexual dysfunction(SD) is still common, which affects the patients’ quality of life. In this paper, we discuss the incidence rate of SD after BPH surgery, the protection strategy of sexual function, and how to choose reasonable treatment from the perspective of sexual function protection.
