Outcomes of MIST for BPH: A Single-Institution Prospective Study

The Rezum device is inserted, a needle is deployed, and vapor is injected into the prostate for nine seconds. This vapor disperses between cells, then cools, releases heat, and gently disrupts the prostate's cells. Because of the initial swelling, a catheter is then inserted, which will remain for two to five days.

The iTind device is temporarily placed inside the prostatic urethra (the narrowed portion of the prostate), where it slowly expands and exerts gentle pressure at three precise points. The effect of the iTind is to widen the prostatic urethral opening through which urine can now flow more easily.
