Abstract : Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a very frequent condition, most of the times related to age, and with initial manifestations and long term development that may vary widely. Treatment is necessary only if the patient is symptomatic or if he has complications related to the BPH. During the last 10 years, the various BPH treatment means have evolved significantly. Regarding medical treatment, new drugs have been introduced and new combinations of drugs have shown their efficacy in BPH treatment. The surgical treatment of BPH has seen the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques, with broader indications and better results compared to classical surgical techniques. Among these techniques, the better studied and developed is the endoscopic Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP). The continuous development of medical lasers and minimally invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of BPH will, in our opinion, lead the way towards a rich and innovative future decade with regard to the surgical treatment of BPH.
