Head-to-head comparison of prostatic urethral lift and water vapor thermal therapy for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia: a real-life study.

Purpose: This study aimed at reporting a head-to-head comparison between water vapor thermal therapy using the Rezūm™ system and prostatic urethral lift using the Urolift™ system in men with lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Patients And Methods: From December 2017 to November 2019, consecutive patients who underwent Rezūm™ and Urolift™ procedures in two urology centers have been retrospectively considered. Only patients with a prostate size less than 80 mL were included.

[Prostatic urethral lift using Urolift® system for benign prostatic hyperplasia: 7years experience].

Introduction: Urolift® system is a mini-invasive technique, proposed as an alternative treatment for classic surgery of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Our objective was to report the results of Urolift® system in our center after 7years experience.

Patients And Methods: Urolift® implants were proposed between February 2012 and March 2019 for patients presenting symptomatic BPH in our center, as an alternative for classic surgery.
