The iTind is a minimally invasive procedure that treats an enlarged prostate using a small camera and a cystoscope. It takes only 5 minutes to perform the procedure.

2

Gereral anaesthesia is needed to perform this procedure.

Explanation:

In the iTind is a minimally invasive procedure performed with a small flexible camera and a cystoscope, and it's all done within about five minutes under a local block.

3

The iTind is a metal structure that looks similar to a wire brace around a champagne cork. It is placed through the bladder and is then pulled back into place in the prostate.

Explanation:

We go in and place a structure that kind of looks like the wire brace around a champagne cork, a device that's got three prongs with sort of a metal twine that untwist and holds it in place in the prostate. The device has three heads to it, one at 12 o'clock, one at five and the other strut at seven o'clock. And this is placed through the bladder and then using cystoscope, pulled back and place it correctly in the prostate.

4

This metal structure is left permanently in the prostate to hold it open.

Explanation:

These struts will place grooves within the prostate and reshape it and then after five to seven days we simply retrieve the device so that there is no permanent metal left in the patient.

5

With the opening of the prostate by the iTind, there is quick recovery, no catheterization and no sexual dysfunction.

Explanation:

There's a vertical opening of the urethral channel. So very quickly, there's recovery, there's no catheterization, and there's no sexual dysfunctions.

Welcome to BPH Canada. We are a Canadian BPH treatment centre focused on less invasive therapies for benign prostate hyperplasia. Our team, including leading Montreal urologist Dr. Kevin Zorn, is here to answer your questions about BPH and its treatments. Request a consultation Prostate Enlargement & BPH Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an enlarged prostate gland. BPH is a common condition as men get older. The prostate is a small gland that starts out about the size of a walnut. As men age, the gland becomes enlarged. About half of men with the condition have no symptoms other than the change in size. For others, urinary and sexual issues can result, including impeding urine flow, leading to bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems. You can do a lot to take care of yourself and give your body what it needs. Still, as you get older, your body changes in ways you can’t always control. For most men, one of those changes is that the prostate gets bigger. In this condition, the enlarged prostate enlarges may compress the urethra (the tube that carries urine and semen from the bladder through the penis) causing problems urinating. BPH can cause various urinary symptoms, known collectively as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). BPH isn’t prostate cancer and doesn’t make you more likely to get it. It’s a common condition, and there are a lot of treatments for it, from lifestyle changes to medication to surgery. Your doctor can help you choose the best care based on your age, health, and how the condition affects you.

    benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Here's a breakdown of the procedure based on the description: Preparation: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, typically a block, which means the patient is awake but the area being operated on is numbed. Device Insertion: A small flexible camera (cystoscope) is inserted into the urethra to visualize the prostate. The iTind device, resembling a wire brace around a champagne cork with three prongs, is then placed through the bladder and guided into the prostate using the cystoscope. The prongs of the device are positioned strategically within the prostate. Reshaping the Prostate: Once positioned correctly, the metal twine of the device is untwisted, causing the prongs to expand and create pressure on the prostate tissue. This pressure creates grooves within the prostate over the next few days, reshaping it and relieving the symptoms of BPH. Device Removal: After five to seven days, the device is retrieved using the cystoscope. It's designed to be removable, so there is no permanent metal left in the patient. Overall, the iTind procedure offers a quick and minimally invasive alternative for treating BPH compared to traditional surgical methods like transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or open prostatectomy. It aims to provide symptom relief while minimizing the risks and recovery time associated with more invasive procedures.

    REZUM indeed stands out as a unique procedure among MIST (Minimally Invasive Surgical Therapies), particularly because it can be performed in an office setting. Here are some key points about REZUM: Office-Based Procedure: REZUM can be conducted in an office setting, which offers several advantages, including convenience for patients and potentially lower costs compared to procedures done in a hospital setting. Anesthesia: Unlike some other procedures, REZUM typically does not require general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia. This can reduce the risks associated with anesthesia and eliminate the need for an anesthesiologist to be present during the procedure. Quick Procedure: The REZUM procedure is usually completed relatively quickly, with patients typically spending less than an hour in the clinic. This can further contribute to the convenience and accessibility of the treatment. Post-Procedure Care: While REZUM offers many benefits, there are some considerations for post-procedure care. One such consideration is the need for the treated tissue to absorb, which may require some time for the patient to experience the full effects of the treatment. Catheter Placement: Additionally, a catheter is typically required for at least seven days after the procedure. While this may be an inconvenience for some patients, it is often necessary to ensure proper healing and to manage any temporary urinary symptoms that may occur after the procedure. Overall, REZUM offers a minimally invasive and convenient option for treating prostate issues, particularly for patients who may prefer or require an office-based procedure without the need for general anesthesia. As with any medical procedure, it's important for patients to discuss the potential benefits and considerations with their healthcare provider to determine the best course of treatment for their individual needs.
