Recently, a patient with a prostate size exceeding 80g underwent Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) surgery. Before the procedure, he experienced severely-interrupted several urinary flows throughout urination. Following TURP, he recovered a perfect bell-shaped curve with a peak flow rate (Qmax) of 19.4 ml/sec. Additionally, his IPSS scores improved (20 points -> 9 points) within a month post-procedure.
