Patients were included if they had catheter-dependent urinary retention prior to treatment and at least one follow-up within 36 months postoperatively. Patient demographics, procedural characteristics, adverse events (AEs), and outcome measures, including benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) medication usage and postvoid residual (PVR), were collected at 3, 6, 12, and/or 36 months postoperatively.

Most patients (77.8%) had at least one comorbidity. Trial of void (TOV) was attempted at a median of 8 days (7, 13). Fourteen patients (51.9%) failed their initial TOV. Median time until catheter independence was 13.5 days (8.5, 28.8). Common AEs included urinary retention (51.9%), urinary tract infections (UTIs) (25.9%), and dysuria (25.9%). All cases of UTIs (7/7) and most cases of dysuria (6/7) occurred in patients who failed their initial TOV. At 36 months, there was a significant median percentage change in PVR (−100.0% [−100.0, −36.7], <i>p</i> = .049), and 40.4% of patients discontinued their BPH medications (<i>p</i> = .001). Of the 11 patients who filled out the DRS, 10 (90.9%) agreed/strongly agreed that they made the right decision.

Cystometric investigations were conducted at room temperature (RT, 27 ± 2°C). The rats were then intraperitoneally administered the vehicle<i>,</i> the M₃-muscarinic receptor antagonist solifenacin, the β₃-adrenergic agonist mirabegron, or a combination of solifenacin and mirabegron. Ten minutes after the administrations, the rats were transferred to the LT environment (4 ± 2°C), where the cystometric measurements were continued.

However, the combination of solifenacin and mirabegron significantly mitigated the bladder overactivity.
