  1. Compared with Group A1, the difference of stone removal time was statistically significant, P <0.05 in Group B, P <0.001 in Group C and Group D. Compared with Group A2, the difference of stone removal time was statistically significant, P <0.01 in Group B and Group C, and P <0.001 in Group D. Compared with Group B, the difference of stone removal time was statistically significant, P <0.001 in Group D. Compared with Group C, the difference of stone removal time was statistically significant, P <0.01 in Group D. Compared between the four groups, the difference of TURP operating time was not statistically significant, P >0.05.
