A Retrospective Multi-Center Study of the Clinical Effects of Transurethral Columnar Balloon Dilation of the Prostate in the Treatment of Elderly Patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to explore the clinical effect of transurethral columnar balloon dilation of the prostate (TUCBDP), in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in men over the age of 60 years old.

Methods: This was a retrospective multi-center study follow-up of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who underwent TUCBDP.
