Benign prostate and bladder outlet
Incision, resection, enucleation, vaporisation and implant-based outlet procedures.
Aquablation of the prostate
Image-planned robotic waterjet resection of obstructing prostatic tissue, followed by a procedure-specific haemostasis and drainage phase.
GreenLight photoselective vaporisation of the prostate
Endoscopic laser vaporisation of obstructing prostatic tissue to create an outlet channel without routine chip resection.
HoLEP and endoscopic enucleation of the prostate
Anatomical endoscopic enucleation of the prostatic adenoma from the surgical capsule, followed by tissue retrieval, usually by intravesical morcellation.
Prostatic drug-coated balloon dilation
Transurethral double-lobe balloon dilation that divides the anterior commissure by pressure, followed by a paclitaxel-coated balloon held against the split surface to limit refusion.
Prostatic urethral lift
Cystoscopic placement of transprostatic implants that retract obstructing tissue and enlarge the prostatic urethral lumen without tissue resection.
Simple prostatectomy for benign prostatic obstruction
Open or minimally invasive enucleation of a large benign prostatic adenoma while leaving the peripheral prostate and seminal structures in situ.
Temporarily implanted nitinol device
Cystoscopic placement of a temporary nitinol device in the prostatic urethra, which remodels the outlet by sustained radial pressure and is removed at a second visit after five to seven days.
Transurethral incision of the prostate and bladder-neck incision
Endoscopic incision of selected bladder-outlet tissue without formal adenoma resection, with the target and depth determined by the underlying anatomy.
Transurethral resection of the prostate
Endoscopic resection of obstructing prostatic tissue to create a channel from bladder neck to verumontanum while preserving the sphincter and capsule.
Water-vapour thermal therapy of the prostate
Transurethral delivery of metered water vapour into selected prostatic transition-zone tissue, producing delayed tissue ablation and volume reduction.
