Abstract
Purpose of review: The prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is rising, however, current treatment options present severe complications and limit patient's quality of life. Accordingly, advancements in prostatic catheter and stent designs for use in treating lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in BPH patients have largely expanded in the past five years and we aim to provide an exhaustive summary of recent outcomes.
Recent findings: The dual dilation and paxlitaxel eluting Optilume BPH Catheter System enhances promise in catheter-based treatments, providing the longest sustained increase in max urinary flow rate and decrease in post-void residual volume compared to alternative MISTs. Additionally, use of iTiND, along with recent advancements in temporary (EXIME, Prodeon Urocross) and permanent (Zenflow Spring, Butterfly, and ClearRing) stent designs, have demonstrated rapid, lasting, and low-cost LUTS relief with sustained sexual function. Minimally invasive solutions that offer in-office treatment, rapid symptom relief, shorter recovery times, and preservation of sexual function hold great promise in improving outcomes in managing BPH patients with LUTS.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to review the most important, recently published findings in the field of urology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal elucidates current and emerging approaches to the care and prevention of urologic diseases and conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction, female urology, and kidney disease. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
