Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a significant cause of morbidity in the elderly male population. The standard therapy for symptomatic prostatic obstruction has been prostatectomy by transurethral resection (TURP) or, less frequently, by open surgery. Innovative alternative treatments of benign prostatic hyperplasia, both surgical and nonsurgical, will be discussed. Additionally, an appraisal of TURP will be made.
良性前列腺增生是老年男性人群发病的一个重要原因。有症状的前列腺梗阻的标准治疗方法一直是经尿道前列腺切除术（TURP），或较少采用的开放手术。本文将讨论良性前列腺增生的创新性替代治疗方法，包括手术和非手术治疗。此外，还将对经尿道前列腺切除术进行评估。
