1.	Prostatic Hyperplasia (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) 02/01/2013 - "Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the most common surgical procedure in urology and remains the gold standard treatment of complicated benign prostatic hyperplasia or refractory to medical treatment. " 05/01/1993 - "Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the most effective treatment for prostatic obstruction secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). " 09/03/1997 - "[Transurethral thermotherapy of the prostate--a very promising treatment method for benign prostatic hyperplasia]." 01/01/2012 - "Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has long been held as the gold standard for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH); however, there has been significant innovation in other less invasive alternative treatments for BPH in recent years. " 11/01/2007 - "Despite the fact that transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) continues being the gold standard for the surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the good results obtained with the use of new energy sources have led to their use in daily practice. "
2.	Urinary Bladder Neck Obstruction (Bladder Neck Obstruction) 05/01/1998 - "High energy transurethral microwave thermotherapy relieved bladder outlet obstruction in 60% of the patients and had a good effect on symptoms. " 10/01/1996 - "In conclusion, TUVP with the VaporTrode yields a significant improvement in AUA symptom score, peak uroflow rate, PVR, and detrusor pressure at maximum flow, denoting relief of bladder outlet obstruction. " 06/01/1998 - "This study provides objective evidence that TUVP is effective in providing prompt relief of bladder outlet obstruction with durable improvement in symptoms and flow rate with no acute morbidity. " 06/01/2006 - "Both HoLEP and TURP were equally effective in relieving bladder outlet obstruction. " 05/01/1995 - "In small prostates TURP and TUIP were generally equally effective in relieving bladder outlet obstruction secondary to BPH. "
3.	Urinary Retention 08/01/2007 - "In this study, the risk of urinary retention due to BPH was significantly greater in men with ACI than in those without, and the association of TURP for retention with ACI was stronger than that with prostate weight. " 10/01/1996 - "To assess the efficacy of high-energy visual laser ablation of the prostate (VLAP) in men with urinary retention, using subjective and objective data. " 09/01/2003 - "Because all medication was ineffective, transurethral resection of prostate was performed on 11 January, 2002, but urinary retention could not be relieved. " 04/01/2015 - "The present study suggests patients at increased risk of deteriorating voiding symptoms, including urinary retention, are no longer contraindicated against LDR brachytherapy if they receive a modified TURP before seed implantation. " 04/01/2013 - "The objective of this study was to investigate whether bladder filling with saline prior to trial of void (TOV) was safe and whether it reduced time to discharge compared with standard TOV in the urology inpatient setting for patients post-transurethral resection of prostate, bladder neck incision or an admission with urinary retention. "
4.	Prostatic Neoplasms (Prostate Cancer) 02/01/2004 - "Palliative TURP can be performed safely in patients with advanced prostate cancer with significant improvement in urinary symptoms. " 11/01/1993 - "These data suggest that the risk of progression and death from prostate cancer may not be significantly greater in patients with stage A1 disease than in those reported to have benign disease at transurethral prostatectomy." 02/05/2013 - "Our previous work showed that immunohistochemical (IHC) Ki-67 improved prediction of prostate cancer death in a cohort of conservatively treated clinically localised prostate cancers diagnosed by transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). " 01/01/2011 - "Palliative transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) is the mainstay of treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms, (LUTS) in men with prostate cancer. " 04/01/1996 - "The analysis suggested the possibility that open prostatectomy may have cured some patients with early prostatic cancer, because the late death rate from prostatic cancer was greater in patients who underwent TURP than open prostatectomy. "
5.	Hyperplasia 01/01/2005 - "At present, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is regarded as the most effective treatment for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). " 08/01/2001 - "Many studies have proven the clinical efficacy of the various laser techniques for the treatment of benign prostatiuc hyperplasia, including randomized studies versus transurethral prostatectomy (TURP). " 01/01/2002 - "We evaluated the efficacy of high energy transurethral microwave thermotherapy for treating benign prosthetic hyperplasia. " 01/01/2007 - "Despite the development of new technologies, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is still considered the gold standard for surgical treatment of the benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). " 07/01/2004 - "The aim of this study is the comparison of the efficacy of classical electroresection of the prostate (TURP) and its modern modifications--electrovaporisation (EVAP) and vaporesection (TUVRP) in the treatment of patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).
