Prostatectomy is one of the most frequent urological procedures performed in the developed world. The original open surgical approach has now been replaced by transurethral techniques. Of these the transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the most common and is now being considered as the gold standard for therapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). At the turn of 20. and 21. centuries the masive and long evolution of technologies on the prostate has brought many additional therapeutic alternatives tending to the less invasive techniques. Principles, efficacy and current indications of minimally invasive therapies of BPH are reviewed.
