Abstract

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has been the gold standard for the treatment of elderly men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, over the last few years, advances in surgical treatment have led to the development of other treatment modalities. These innovations include convective WAter Vapor Energy (WAVE; Rezum System), prostatic urethral lift (PUL; UroLift System), Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) and Aquablation (AQUABEAM System). This review provides an update on these current minimal invasive surgical treatments. The evidence of their safety, tolerability and efficacy in clinical practice is reviewed.
