AB  - The advantages offered by lasers compared to older technologies for endoscopic 
      surgery for symptomatic benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) are reviewed. Laser 
      treatments for the endoscopic management of patients with bladder outlet 
      obstruction (BOO) resulting from BPH can be divided into three basic techniques. 
      These techniques are vaporisation (removal of tissue), resection of tissue 
      (excision of small chips and subsequent irrigation from bladder) and enucleation 
      (dissection of the adenoma from the surgical capsule and subsequent 
      morcellation). The decision to offer a transurethral laser approach to patients 
      with BPH depends on their comorbidities, the surgeon's expertise with the 
      different procedures, and the availability of the relevant technology.
