Transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP) is considered the gold standard surgical treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia. TURP has gained ground in urologic centers of excellence forits effective long term results with low incidence of complications. Far away from excellence, it associated with blood loss, and TUR syndrome particularly in patients with larger prostates. For this reasons, many minimally invasive new techniques have been implemented in recent years. Bipolar technique has recently been introduced, to minimize the complications of the standard TURP technique.
