The gold standard surgical treatment for BPH is the Transurethral Resection of the Prostate Gland (TURP). This procedure carries potential side effects and complications including bleeding, water intoxication, impotence, incontinence, urethral stricture, and retrograde ejaculation. Alternative treatments such as Transurethral Needle Ablation (TUNA) and Microwave Prostratron do not promise results as good as the traditional TURP. Laser operation with YAG has a high incidence of dysuria and a relatively longer recovery. These procedures usually require post-procedure catheters for several days. The newest treatment for BPH is the Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (PVP) recently approved by the FDA in November 2001. It is a minimally invasive outpatient/ambulatory/short stay procedure that offers excellent and immediate results with minimal complications. Patients are usually catheter free in less than 24 hours.
