Abstract
More and more patients will require treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in the future because of the increase in overall life expectancy. Management of LUTS/benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) and the management of medical and surgical options will require a clear understanding of all treatment, as well as shared decision-making between the provider and patient. Due to its disruptive, disconcerting, and distressing nature LUTS obliges consideration to treat. The traditional medication-based therapy is being challenged by the advent of minimal invasive surgical therapies (MIST), which demonstrates efficacy with a more favorable side-effect/complication profile.
