Reasons for new MIS. Let's be fair: iTIND, Urolift and Rezūm
Abstract: Purpose
To review and discuss the literature regarding iTIND, Urolift and Rezūm and investigate the precise clinical indications of all three different approaches for their application in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treatment.
Materials and methods
The PubMed–Medline and Cochrane Library databases were screened to identify recent English literature relevant to iTIND, Urolift and Rezūm therapies. The surgical technique and clinical results for each approach were summarized narratively.
Results
iTIND, Urolift and Rezūm are safe and effective minimally invasive procedures for the symptomatic relief of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to BPH. iTIND requires the results of ongoing prospective studies, a long-term follow-up and a comparison against a reference technique to confirm the generalizability of the first pivotal study. Urolift provides symptomatic relief but the improvements are inferior to TURP at 24 months and long-term retreatments have not been evaluated. Rezūm requires randomized controlled trials against a reference technique to confirm the first promising clinical results. However, clinical evidence from prospective clinical trials demonstrates the efficacy and safety of these procedures in patients with small- and medium-sized prostates.
Conclusions
Although iTIND, Urolift, and Rezūm cannot be applied to all bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) cases resulting from BPH, they provide a safe alternative for carefully selected patients who desire symptom relief and preservation of erectile and ejaculatory function without the potential morbidity of more invasive procedures
