Twenty-four months failure rate and functional outcomes comparison after implantable nitinol device (iTIND) and prostatic urethral lift (Urolift): real world multicenter study
The 24-month failure rate was similar for iTIND and Urolift. Urolift reported a shorter hospitalization. Uroflowmetry and PVR results were comparable in both groups. iTIND cases showed slightly superior improvements in symptom scores; however, the clinical significance of this finding must be confirmed by further studies in correlation with prostate volume and median lobe shape.
