AQUABEAM robotic system use-results survey: Aquablation for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia in the Japanese Population.

Objectives: To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and patient-reported outcomes of Aquablation therapy using the AQUABEAM Robotic System for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in a Japanese population.

Methods: This post-market use-results survey included 103 Japanese men with BPH who underwent Aquablation across five centers with previously Aquablation naïve physicians. Data were collected at baseline, during the procedure, at discharge, and at 3 and 6 months post-procedure.

Water Vapor Thermal Therapy in Men With Prostate Volume ≥80 cm: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: To determine the safety and effectiveness of water vapor thermal therapy (Rezum) in men with large prostate volumes of at least 80cm.

Methods: We performed systematic searches for studies of Rezum therapy in men with prostate volume of at least 80 cm. Meta-analysis outcomes included the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), IPSS Quality of Life (IPSS-QOL), Qmax, postvoid residual, International Index of Erectile Function-Erectile Function (IIEF-EF), and serious (Clavien-Dindo grade III-V) complications, surgical retreatments.

Comparison of urethral sling surgery and non-ablative vaginal Erbium:YAG laser treatment in 327 patients with stress urinary incontinence: a case-matching analysis.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) occurs when abdominal pressure, such as from coughing or sneezing, causes urine leakage. We retrospectively compared tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and non-ablative vaginal Erbium:YAG laser treatment (VEL) by propensity score (PS) analysis in women with SUI. No PS analysis studies have investigated urethral sling surgery using polypropylene TVT and VEL for SUI.
