3:24 PM Abstract No. 6 Prostatic artery embolization (PAE) and prostatic urethral lift (PUL) procedures for symptomatic benign prostatic enlargement (BPH): a retrospective, single-center comparison of outcomes

Prostate artery embolization (PAE) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (bph)

Comprehensive studies show that the holmium laser is ideal for treating BPH. Holmium laser treatments have been the most rigorously investigated BPH techniques. Over 90 articles have been published from 8 randomized clinical trials and over 30 case studies and comparative series. The American, European, British and Australasian urology associations recommend holmium laser for BPH treatment. Hol...

Prostate artery embolization for benign prostatic hyperplasia

Prostate artery embolization (PAE) has emerged as a promising treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). We aim to provide an up-to-date review of this minimally invasive technique, including discussion of potential benefits and technical challenges. Current evidence suggests it is a promising and effective option for patients with large prostate...

Prostatic urethral lift: a novel approach for managing symptomatic BPH in the aging man.

INTRODUCTION Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an obligate disorder of the aging male prostate with close associations to other metabolic conditions of aging including obesity. Clinical manifestations of this chronic disorder increase as men age suggesting that a growing number of older men will require intervention for progressive voiding symptoms or bladder dysfunction. MATERIALS AND ME...

Prostatic urethral lift: A minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia

Prostatic urethral lift (PUL) is a minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia. The procedure may be performed under local, spinal, or general anesthesia. The PUL procedure involves the delivery of implants that retract obstructing prostate lobes. Unlike other benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment options inclu...
