lüll Endourologic procedures for benign prostatic hyperplasia: review of indications and outcomes Kacker R; Williams SBUrol J 2011[Sum]; 8 (3): 171-6PURPOSE: To discern the positive and negative attributes of the various treatment modalities for benign prostatic hyperplasia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A comprehensive literature review is presented for endoscopic treatment of the bladder outlet obstruction with an emphasis on current randomized controlled trials available comparing these treatment modalities. RESULTS: Transurethral resection of the prostate remains the gold standard when assessing alternative treatment options available for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate demonstrates equivalent efficacy with a more favorable risk profile. Photoselective vaporization, transurethral needle ablation, and transurethral microwave therapy have demonstrated safety and short-term efficacy; however, data on long-term efficacy are currently lacking. CONCLUSION: The current endoscopic methods may offer favorable safety and efficacy for the treatment of the bladder outlet obstruction. However, further research is needed to establish long-term efficacy for many of the currently available treatment options.|*Endoscopy[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Minimally Invasive Surgical Procedures/methods[MESH]|Prostatic Hyperplasia/*surgery[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH]|Urologic Surgical Procedures, Male/methods[MESH] |
