Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option B is a correct statement that indicates the patient has understood that TUNA is an outpatient procedure and does not require hospital admission. Option A is incorrect because although TUNA is less invasive than transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), it may not necessarily have reduced complications. Option C is incorrect as bleeding is a rare complication of TUNA. Option D is incorrect as the need for repeat TUNA procedures depends on the patient's individual case, and it may not be required for all patients.
