This chapter outlines the pathophysiology and causes of bladder outlet obstruction, along with diagnostic investigations and treatment options depending on the cause. Minimally invasive management of benign prostatic hyperplasia no longer includes thermotherapy or transurethral radiofrequency needle ablation, though these are briefly discussed by way of historical context. The new procedure of UroLift is discussed. Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) has essentially replaced other forms of laser prostatectomy. Prostate artery embolization is increasingly used for troublesome prostatic bleeding. Management of acute and chronic forms of urinary retention are comprehensively discussed.

Case: We present a case of spontaneous extra-peritoneal rupture of an acquired diverticulum an elderly male with symptoms of bladder outlet obstruction who presented in emergency with acute abdomen. Outcome: The acute phase was managed conservatively with bladder drainage and intravenous antibiotics. He recently underwent Transurethral Resection of Prostate. He is asymptomatic on follow-up. Conclusions: Acquired bladder diverticulum are rare in adults and are mostly seen in patients with high pressure bladder due to bladder outlet obstruction. Atraumatic extraperitoneal ruptures of diverticulum are uncommonly reported.

Prostate artery embolization (PAE) is emerging as a safe and efficacious treatment which approaches benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) from a unique perspective. This brings with it distinct advantages and solutions, which we discuss along with cost, evidence, complications and disadvantages.
