The impact of medical therapy on surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia: a study comparing changes in a decade (1992–2002)

In a study from Madrid, patients from one centre were retrospectively reviewed, comparing those who had surgery for BPH in the first half of 1992 to that of 2002. The authors concluded that surgery was currently less common in older patients, and in patients who had received medical treatment for longer. They also found that open surgery was more common in those who required surgery, perhaps because the increase in prostate size was not suppressed by the medical therapy predominantly prescribed in the decade in question.
