| Upon relief of obstruction from BPH, what is the drainage stopped at, and why? | Drainage should usually be stopped at 1000ml initially to prevent rapid decompression of bladder to avoid rupturing mucosal blood vessels. |
| What is the most common surgical procedure for BPH? | TransUrethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) |
