Does benign prostate hyperplasia histopathological variation impact disease‐specific clinical outcomes after transurethral resection?

The impact of histopathological variants in stromal and glandular tissue on clinical outcomes following transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) is unexplored. We sought to evaluate the relationship between histopathological variations in TURP specimen and postoperative clinical outcomes. We performed a retrospective analysis of men undergoing initial TURP at our institution from 2017 to 2019. All pathology slides were re‐reviewed by one specialized genitourinary pathologist who was blinded to all clinical data. Types of BPH were defined as: glandular‐predominant (gland:stroma ratio >50%), mixed (gland:stroma ratio 25%–50%), and stromal‐predominant (gland:stromal ratio
