AI Technical Summary
The existing transurethral balloon dilation of the prostate (TUCBDP) has problems such as insufficient balloon positioning accuracy, long learning curve, high risk of urethral injury, and unsuitability for Asian populations. In addition, it requires a second insertion of the laser resectoscope, which increases patient pain and complications.
An integrated prostate dilation endoscope is designed, which integrates a dilation catheter, an endoscope, and a laser electroresection endoscope. It includes independently expandable positioning balloons and anchoring balloons. The dilation and laser surgery can be completed in one insertion through a flexible tubular part and an operating handle. The endoscope provides visual guidance, and the laser head and viewing lens are arranged vertically. It is equipped with an irrigation and drainage system.
It integrates the functions of dilation and laser surgery, reducing patient pain and urethral damage, improving surgical precision and safety, shortening operation time, and is suitable for Asian populations, especially high-risk patients.
