According to European Association of Urology (EAU), an open simple prostatectomy, holmium laser and bipolar enucleation represent current standard methods for surgical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with volume over 80 ml. The transurethral resection of prostate, thulium laser enucleation and laser vaporization are second-line methods. In addition, some novel interventions are currently being developing. The aim of our work was to systematize all current procedures for more convenient use in clinical practice.
