Modern approaches to the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia in elderly men
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological condition that has a significant impact on patients‘ quality of life and an economic burden on healthcare systems worldwide, and is likely to become increasingly common in the aging population. While transurethral resection of the prostate and medical management still play an important role in the treatment of BPH, a number of alternatives are now available, including laser enucleation and minimally invasive techniques. The choice of the most appropriate therapeutic modality will depend on the patient‘s individual preferences, current health status, resource availability, cost, anatomical factors, and treatment goals.
