Abstract

the older population but remained stable in the younger population. Among older patients, TURP was most commonly utilized (45%), followed by LP (30%), TUMT (17%), TUNA (5%), OP (2%) and TUIP (1%). Among younger patients, TURP (38%) was more closely followed by LP (31%) and then TUMT (18%), TUNA (8%), TUIP (3%) and OP (2%). CONCLUSIONS: Over a 10-year span, older LUTS/BPH patients had a higher prevalence of surgical procedures than younger LUTS/BPH patients, and TURP and LP were the most commonly performed procedures. There was a dramatic reduction in surgical therapy for LUTS/BPH among older but not younger patients.
