ABSTRACT

The management of lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of clinical symptomatic BPH remains somewhat controversial. Treatment options range from watchful waiting, for those patients wishing to delay any active therapy, to minimally invasive treatment, such as

transurethral needle ablation of the prostate

and

transurethral microwave therapy

, to surgical interventions in the form of

transurethral prostatectomy

or

open enucleation of the prostate.
