Abstract
According to the current treatment algorithm, surgical treatment of benign prostatic syndrome (BPS) is the next step after a pharmacological treatment. In addition to conventional transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), much interest is shifting towards alternative sugical techniques such as transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT),transurethral needle ablation of the prostate (TUNA) and several laser techniques.
