Aim: To investigate the clinical efficacy of transurethral columnar balloon dilation of prostate (TUCBDP) in the treatment of small-volume benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and provide the optimal treatment for the surgical treatment of small volume benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 106 patients with small-volume BPH who underwent surgical treatment at the Department of Urology, Xiangya Changde Hospital from December 2023 to January 2024. The patients were divided into two groups based on the type of surgery received: TUCBDP group (n = 53) and transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) group (n = 53), which serves as the control group.

Background & Aims: The effectiveness of endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation (EPLBD) alone versus EPLBD combined with endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) in treating large common bile duct stones (CBDS, ≥ 15 mm) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and treatment outcomes of EPLBD combined with limited or large EST versus EPLBD alone in removing large CBDS.
Methods: Between January 2013 and September 2024, 408 patients underwent EPLBD, either alone or in combination with EST, to treat large CBDS (≥ 15 mm).
