I-TIND Temporary Stent for BPH

Intervention that allows the removal of benign prostatic hyperplasia with laser by vaporizing the hyperplastic tissue or by allowing the enucleation of all the tissue and subsequently extracting it in small fragments.

The I-TIND temporary stent is a simple, outpatient procedure that restores urinary and ejaculatory function in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. This minimally invasive procedure, for which ICUA is a pioneering center in Spain, involves placing a star-shaped stent inside the prostate.

Once positioned in the gland, the stent makes three incisions that will help restore the patient's voiding function within a few daysThe stent, which is inserted under sedation and does not require catheterization, remains in the prostate for five days. After this period, it is removed on an outpatient basis. The stent's own elastic properties allow for the three star-shaped incisions that, as previously mentioned, restore urinary function without impairing ejaculatory function.

This innovative procedure is proving highly satisfactory and yielding positive results.

The stent represents a significant advance in treating this condition because it does not carry the risks of other treatments such as prostate surgery, which requires hospitalization and causes ejaculatory problems such as internal ejaculation in many patients.

The procedure is particularly indicated for young patients who are beginning to experience urinary tract disorders and who are interested in preserving ejaculatory function. It is also suitable for individuals undergoing long-term drug treatments who are not yet candidates for surgery.

It is a safe, reliable, and quick technique that allows patients to return home the same day the stent is placed and to experience urinary improvements from the first few days. In this way, the patient notices a considerable increase in their quality of life from the very beginning.
