Abstract

In the past 2 decades, endoscopic enucleation of the prostate has become a safe and effective surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), with comparable outcomes to traditional surgeries. Transurethral vapor enucleation and resection of the prostate (TVERP), transurethral vapor enucleation of the prostate (TVEP), and ultrasound-navigated TVEP (US-TVEP) are new, innovative endoscopic enucleation procedures. These procedures are named Xie\'s Prostate Enucleations (Xie\'s Procedures for short). Current clinical data indicate that Xie\'s Procedures are safe and effective treatment options for patients with BPH, especially for patients with larger prostates. Further prospective, randomized clinical trials compared with traditional transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) are still needed.
