The increasing importance of treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS),while avoiding side effects and maintaining sexual function,has allowed for the development of minimally invasive surgical therapies(MiSTs).Recently,the European Association of Urology guidelines reported a paradigm shift from the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH)to the management of nonneurogenic male *** aim of the present review was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the most commonly used MisTs:ablative techniques such as aquablation,prostatic artery embolization,water vapor energy,and transperineal prostate laser ablation,and nonablative techniques such as prostatic urethral lift and temporarily implanted nitinol device(iTIND).MiSTs are becoming a new promise,even if clinical trials with longer follow-up are still *** of them are still under investigation and,to date,only a few options have been given as a recommendation for *** cannot be considered as standard of care and are not suitable for all *** and disadvantages should be underlined,without forgetting our objective:treatment of LUTS and re-treatment avoidance.

ObjectiveMinimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) have seen an increase in usage in recent years. We aimed to determine what types of events may influence patient search habits related to surgical BPH *** Trends was used to determine the frequency of searches for different minimally invasive and prostatic ablative treatments for BPH in the United States. The procedures including transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), Aquablation therapy (Aquablation), Greenlight laser therapy (Greenlight), transurethral needle ablation, transurethral microwave thermotherapy, Urolift (prostatic urethral lift [PUL]), Rezum, iTind, holmium laser enucleation of the prostate, simple prostatectomy, and prostatic artery embolization were *** January 1, 2004 to February 28, 2023, the number of internet search queries have increased for TURP, PUL, Rezum, prostatic artery embolization, and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate. There has been a slight decrease in searches for Greenlight, transurethral needle ablation, transurethral microwave thermotherapy, iTind, simple prostatectomy, and *** increased searches of alternatives, TURP remains the most searched BPH procedure. Additionally, search habits may be influenced by several factors including government approval, corporate acquisition, and marketing campaigns. It is important for physicians to understand the types of events that may cause patients to inquire about certain treatments for better quality health information and clinical visits.
