[Review of transurethral endoscopic surgery].

Transurethral endoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive treatment for urological diseases. For the past 60 years, transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) has been the gold standard treatment for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), because of effectiveness, low risk of complication, and economical saving. Recently, various minimally invasive treatments have been developed in transurethral endoscopic surgery. But, a long follow-up are necessary for evaluation of these novel treatments. We reviewed the literature of transurethral endoscopic surgery of BPH, superficial bladder cancer, urinary calculus and vesicoureteral reflex.
