Surgical Management of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Attributed to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: AUA Guideline Amendment 2020.

Journal of Urology 2020 October
PURPOSE: The AUA Guideline panel provides evidence-based recommendations for the surgical management of male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The Panel amended the Guideline in 2020 to reflect additional literature published through September 2019. When sufficient evidence existed, the Panel assigned the body of evidence a strength rating of A (high), B (moderate), or C (low) for support of Strong, Moderate, or Conditional Recommendations. In the absence of sufficient evidence, the Panel provided additional information as Clinical Principles and Expert Opinions (See table 1[Table: see text]).

RESULTS: Amendments to these Guidelines include: 1) an amended statement (Guideline 1) to include conducting a physical examination; 2) a new statement (Guideline 6) discussing concepts of treatment failure and retreatment; 3) an amended statement (Guideline 15) with updated supporting text for prostatic urethral lift (PUL); 4) an amended statement (Guideline 16) for PUL; 5) an amended statement (Guideline 17) with updated supporting text for transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT); 6) an amended statement (Guideline 18) with updated supporting text for water vapor thermal therapy; 7) updated supporting text for water vapor thermal therapy (Guideline 19); 8) an amended statement (Guideline 21) with updated supporting text for laser enucleation; 9) an amended statement (Guideline 22) with updated supporting text for Aquablation; and 10) an amended statement (Guideline 23) with updated supporting text for Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE).

CONCLUSIONS: These evidence-based updates to the AUA Guidelines further inform the surgical management of LUTS/BPH.
