Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The surgery was performed for BPH, which is an enlargement of the prostate gland that can cause urinary obstruction. Therefore, the expected outcome for this patient would be urinary continence. Bowel continence and absence of pain may also be expected outcomes, but they are not specifically related to the diagnosis and surgery for BPH. Additionally, postoperative treatment may still be necessary depending on the patient's specific situation.
