Indications, techniques, and role of new minimally invasive benign prostate hyperplasia surgical options

Novel emerging techniques for the surgical treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) related to lower urinary tract symptoms are being investigated very seriously to help search for a better method, and the studies are getting their place in the literature. In this review article, UroLift® system, (i)TIND®, Aquablation®, Rezūm® system, and prostatic artery embolization have been discussed according to the literature and both European and American urological guidelines. All related randomized controlled trials are discussed under the appropriate headings. Indications, technique, and the role of these minimally invasive surgical options for BPH are assessed. These methods, which are still being studied, are promising for the future. As the studies get completed, the indications will become clearer, and these techniques will find their respective places as the personalized treatment options.Novel emerging techniques for the surgical treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) related to lower urinary tract symptoms are being investigated very seriously to help search for a better method, and the studies are getting their place in the literature.
