PAE 的主要優勢
對於患有良性前列腺增生 (BPH) 的男性來說,PAE 是一種安全的治療選擇,並且與其他微創手術一樣,與傳統的開放性手術相比具有顯著的優勢。 PAE 一年後,平均前列腺大小縮小約 30%,緩解泌尿症狀,保留勃起功能,並提高生活品質。接受 PAE 的男性表示體驗到了高度的滿意度,並且這種滿意度在手術後持續了一年多。 1,2
PAE 的諸多優點
- 微創手術
- 幾乎沒有失血
- 通常作為門診手術進行
- 與手術相比,住院時間更短,恢復時間更快 3
- 與手術相比,不太可能需要導尿 4
- 緩解下泌尿道症狀 (LUTS),例如尿急感和頻尿感,特別是在夜間(夜尿)、膀胱排空不完全、尿流微弱、間歇性和排尿時用力 5
- 無需手術即可改善 LUTS,且性副作用或失禁的風險較低 5
- 生活品質整體顯著改善
- 使用時不受前列腺大小、尿道狹窄或膀胱容量的限制。 3,6,7
