Most common BPH procedures: trends and statistics (2022–2024)

As men age, the prostate can grow larger than normal, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This can lead to discomfort and urinary issues, especially for men over 40. When medication isn’t enough, surgery may be the next step.

Recent data shows that around 220,000 BPH procedures are performed in the U.S. each year. These numbers help us understand treatment trends and how options are evolving. If you're considering treatment, knowing the latest trends can help you make a decision.

*Note: These figures include all insurance claims, with Medicare covering about 30–44% of procedures, depending on the type.

BPH Procedures Trends (2022–2024)

• TURP(Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) is still the most common procedure, but it's becoming less popular. The number of procedures dropped from 123,000 in 2022 to 112,000 in 2024.

• HoLEP(Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) is steadily increasing, as more doctors become comfortable performing it.

• Minimally Invasive Surgical Treatments (MIST), including options like UroLift, Rezum, and Aquablation, continue to play a significant role in BPH care—accounting for 35.7% of all treatments in 2024. This sustained interest reflects the value patients and physicians place on less invasive approaches, especially as technology and outcomes continue to evolve.

• MIST procedures are still a major option, making up 35.7% of all BPH treatments in 2024. This shows that many men and their doctors continue to prefer less invasive treatments as technology improves.
