Talk:Surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia

Classifying procedures
The section includes a number of non-laser, minimally invasive surgical treatments (MISTs). Their mention belongs in the subsection. However, moving them there will show that the present division between laser and non-laser treatments is far from even; the use of lasers being just one modality for achieving tissue ablation. This is presently a fast-moving field, with variant new techniques being invented every few months on average.

Accordingly, I suggest a better classification of minimally invasive surgical treatments (MISTs) for BPH would be:
 * 1) Laser ablation
 * VLAP
 * PVP
 * HoLAP
 * HoLEP
 * 1) Non-laser ablation
 * TUMT
 * TUNA
 * Aquablation
 * WVTT
 * HIFU
 * 1) Urolift

Cochrane edits
To the invasive treatment section, I added information from a Cochrane review comparing monopolar and bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate.--Gsom12812 (talk) 15:21, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Improved the information on prostatic urethral lift by citing information from a Cochrane review --Gsom12812 (talk) 23:29, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
