Androgen Deprivation Accelerates the Prostatic Urethra Wound Healing After Thulium Laser Resection of the Prostate by Promoting Re‐Epithelialization and Regulating the Macrophage Polarization

Complications after a thulium laser resection of the prostate (TmLRP) are related to re‐epithelialization of the prostatic urethra. Since prostate growth and development are induced by androgen, the aim of this study was to determine the role and explore the mechanism of androgen in wound healing of the prostatic urethra.
