[Advances in minimally invasive treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia]

Abstract

The therapeutic options for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can be divided into medicinal, surgical and minimally invasive treatments. The minimally invasive treatment of BPH is gradually accepted by more and more urologists for its advantages of less damage, good effect, quick recovery and easy acceptance by patients, which includes transurethral needle ablation of the prostate (TUNA), transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT), photoselective laser vaporization of the prostate (PVP), holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HOLEP) and so on. This article updates the advances in the minimally invasive treatment.
