Abstract
New treatment modalities are becoming available for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Permanent or temporary stenting of the prostatic urethra, balloon dilatation of the prostate, and hyperthermia and thermotherapy are in the forefront. None of the methods has found a definite place in the spectrum of indications. Prospective trials are needed to ascertain the safety, efficacy, and durability of results.
