iTind treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

I don't see how this will last more than few days...Why not use a permanent stent? We use it in arteries with great success.

I agree.

I am interested to know whether you could use this procedure successfully with someone who had an enlarged bladder and a large diverticula causing the bladder not to empty fully?

I would look at the hoLEP procedure. This what I picked out for myself. It's what is called a 'one and done' procedure. I'm getting it done in Las Vegas, NV in america. At a VA hospital and by a doctor that's done a thousand of these procedures.

How did it work for you?

[@orangeguy3314]

@samkitty5894 It worked out great!. It does take around six months for the full results to show up.

[@samkitty5894]

@@orangeguy3314 Why 6 months? The new opening is the biggest right after the procedure. I would assume 6 months later it would be covered with scar tissue and reduced in size.

@samkitty5894 The blatter needs to adjust. It's been larger from not working like a normal organ. Believe me I lived through it. Some even find it closer to a year. But most find 4 to 6 months to come back to normal.

@@orangeguy3314 Thanks. That makes sense. I will need this procedure soon. Trying to decide which one. They all have bad side effects and long recovery time.

What keeps the urethra open once the itind is removed. Is the tissue semi ridged so it keeps the shape created by the itind? My engineerig mind is not seeing how the affect will last very long. Seems like the tissue would reform back to its natural shape.

[@samkitty5894]

I agree. There is no way this will work.
