Transurethral enucleation of the prostate(TUEP)

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease of elderly men. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the most commonly method for BPH nowadays, but it is still insufficient. Transurethral enucleation of the prostate (TUEP) was invented by Professor Liu Chunxiao in 2002. This article will summarize TUEP systemically, and compare with other surgical methods simultaneously. TUEP has been proved to be better than TURP in clinical practice. TUEP is an innovative progress, and it will replace TURP as the new "gold standard".
