Abstract

Purpose of Review

Compare outcomes of medical therapy as compared to minimally invasive surgical therapy (MIST) for treatment of bladder outlet obstruction

Recent Findings

Treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) remains largely driven by patient symptomatology with medical therapy or watchful waiting as the first-line management strategies. However, most patients are not adherent to prescribed medical therapies and are hesitant to accept the risks associated with more invasive therapies. Minimally invasive surgical therapies are treatments providing short-term symptom relief superior to medical therapies without the sequela of more invasive procedures.

Summary

Though there are few direct comparisons, MIST seems to relieve LUTS/BPH symptoms at least as well as medical therapy without the need for daily adherence.
