• TUNA and TUMT are simple and safe techniques that improve functional outcomes with respect to baseline values, without reaching the same level of efficacy and long-lasting success of TURP. They are, however, superior to TURP in terms of associated morbidity and anaesthetic requirements
• HoLEP and KTP have demonstrated similar efficacy and anaesthetic requirements to TURP and they are prostate-size independent and seem to have better safety profiles, including shorter catheterisation and hospitalisation time
• However, HoLEP is associated with a steeper learning curve, and the lack of structured training programmes, whereas, KTP is characterised by longer operative time, and lack of high-quality long-term data on durability
