I had the Holep procedure done and developed a stricter and ended up having Urethroplasty, still have a slow stream! The stricture I had was in the bulbar area and that looked great a month later when they did an X-ray and I voided. I’m worried I’ve developed a stricture near the end of the penis, from the Foley catheter it was really tearing me up!
In my opinion, having had TWO UroLift procedures, both failing, this idea would be even less effective in long term than the UroLIft pins, which fail because the prostate continues to swell up past the pins they use to hold back the urethrae wall. Since this only stretches the opening, it will collapse back as quickly as it was stretched.
Excellent, informative video. I have had complete urine retention for 3.5 years and rely totally on CISC despite a PAE procedure that was not successful. I would like to know whether I would be a suitable candidate for iTind given that I always need to use self-catherization?
QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS!!! There was no mention of PAE (Prostate Artery Embolization) as a procedure comparison. I gather that this iTind can be done safely with someone who has prostate cancer for 15 years or longer. Yes, I have prostate cancer and other than knowing I have it I am not having any problems but I am with BPH.
Please explain the significance of "12, 5, and 7 o’clock" incisions. Left and right lobes, and anterior prostatic commissure (anterior fibromuscular zone)?
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.
Cost? Here in Australia despite having private insurance I was quoted 2k. Dont think I would want to be repeating that every year, particularly as a retiree.
I can't see how this can be a permanent solution. Once the stent is removed prostate should collapse and urine flow will slow down. Now, if the stent of some type was left there, then it could work. I don't know. I am not a doctor, just a prostate sufferer.
I’m like you been doing my research considering this procedure I found an explanation how this could permanent once the 3 prong stent is taken out The 7 12 5 o’clock pressure struts create a circumferential force longitudinally Ischemic incisions or indentations called Ischemic necrosis scaring meaning stops blood flow and oxygen to this pressure points prohibiting it growing in essence To re model the prostate sides I hope this helps with some understating of this procedure
Good Morning I am Carlos, I am 58 years old and I suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia with a size of about 35 cm. The reason for my consultation is that I was interested in having surgery with Rezum (several urologists have recommended it to me) since it is the technique that produces the fewest side effects. Until I got information from i-tend, as a technique without side effects such as retrograde ejaculation and minimally invasive. A urologist from Hospital Quiron, an expert in this technique, offers me the operation, but I would like to confront some important doubts for me. 1) The doubt I have with this technique is whether expanding the prostatic urethra can cause some type of damage to the urethra or some problem when it narrows again in the future. 2) Is there any type of fibrosis or other effect that makes an operation with Rezum (water vapor therapy) difficult if I need it in the future? Thanks in advance for your information and interest.
I imagine you have already had one procedure or the other done in the last 8 months. I have no experience with the REZUM, but I did have the Itind procedure done in 2022, in Louisiana, USA. HORRIBLY painful for about 3 months. Now about 9 months later, no pain and urine does flow more freely. Probably because it is a "new" procedure, the surgeons who did my procedure were unavailable immediately AFTER the surgery, though the pain was so severe that I would call every 2 days or so and NEVER got in touch or got a return call from ANY of the surgeons. So, the point is that you must trust your surgeon and have access to him or her AFTER the procedure. My prostate was size 32 cms, so probably I could have done nothing and still not suffered very much. None of the pain pills that I was given in any way "relieved" the pain. I just had to bear it for a good three months, not knowing if that was normal, if it was infected, or what the case might have been. Try to get a surgeon who has done it before and has a good bedside manner, as you will need it post-surgery. Should my prostate need some form of surgery in the future, I am not sure at this time if I would do the ITIND procedure AGAIN. When, after 5.25 days, the PULLED it out, the pain was unbearable because it had already bonded very well with the tissue, so it was TORN out...hence the pain, I imagine. Good luck. Please share your experience here. Dr. Stan De Loach, CDMX, México.

is what it says terrible procedure cutting of the prostate clippings go back into the bladder blocks the folley severe pain afterwards longtime hospital stay and after recovery painful have some killer pain meds better yet stay away all together!
Very informative and well done interview!!
Thank you!
Fantastic info and spot on questions. Thanks for posting and now considering this procedure.
Glad it was helpful!

I agree that I can't see that prostate would keep compressed shape for 2 or 3 years. Maybe a few weeks?
can itind be used after urolift failure ?
There is no mention of aquablation procedure, which is also termed minimally invasive procedure?
We are currently putting together an episode on Aquablation. Stay tuned!
Here is the link to the episode: ruclips.net/video/OQhL2xK7f8I/видео.html
Any advantage to having the iTind procedure after a failed UroLift, or would the results ultimately be the same as the UroLift?
Cost? Here in Australia despite having private insurance I was quoted 2k. Dont think I would want to be repeating that every year, particularly as a retiree.

No discussion on PAE. I'm hoping I'm eligible for PAE.

This term “Roto Rooter” is disturbing and needs explanation.
