Laser Ablation a Salvage Treatment for Obstructive Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition affecting aging men, often leading to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). While Minimally Invasive Surgical Therapies (MIST) procedures offer less invasive alternatives to traditional surgery, some patients experience symptom recurrence or require further intervention due to lack of adequate relief of obstruction. Treatment of persistent obstruction after MIST therapy (BPH salvage therapy) typically requires surgical intervention like transurethral resection of prostate (TURP). This study proposes to evaluate the effectiveness of in-office transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) using the Echolaser system as a minimally invasive treatment option for these patients, potentially avoiding more invasive surgical procedures. The Cleveland Clinic sees a high volume of BPH salvage patients, making this an ideal setting for this research.
