Abstract

Surgical treatment of BPH is well established. TURP is recognized as the gold standard procedure, and variations now exist in the form of differing energy source to complete prostate resection or enucleation. This chapter outlines newer and experimental techniques in the surgical treatment of BPH. This includes laparoscopic and robotic adenomectomy, urethral lift procedures, and intraprostatic injection of alcohol. The techniques and outcomes are described and given the paucity of long-term outcome and the lack of worldwide experience in these techniques, these techniques are considered to be in their infancy.
