Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how the size of the prostate affects patients’ recovery and symptoms after a surgery called RASP, which helps treat an enlarged prostate (BPH).
- They reviewed 25 articles and found that patients with smaller prostates had worse symptoms before surgery but improved more after, while those with larger prostates still had some moderate symptoms.
- The researchers concluded that RASP is a safe and effective surgery for treating BPH, but more studies are needed to understand how prostate size influences the results.
