BPH Treatment in Patients at Higher Risk of Bleeding
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) requires individualised management. When a patient is at higher risk of bleeding, standard surgical approaches may carry unacceptable haemorrhagic risk, and technique selection becomes critical to procedural safety.
Clinical Scenario
Patients with BPH who carry a higher risk of bleeding represent a specific sub-population in which the choice of surgical intervention must account for haemostatic considerations alongside efficacy.
Treatment Approach
Current evidence supports specific laser-based surgical techniques as preferred options in this setting — selected for their suitability in patients with increased bleeding risk. The complete list of recommended procedures and the full structured protocol are available via the link below.
