Aplicación clínica del sistema de liberación uretral UroLift® en España: consenso sobre el tratamiento de los síntomas del tracto urinario inferior asociados a la obstrucción del flujo urinario por hiperplasia benigna de próstata

Abstract

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is an increasingly common pathology in the adult male, especially after the age of 40-45 years, and its management consumes an enormous amount of resources. The UroLift® system is an approved technology designed to treat lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia and is used to perform the prostatic urethral lift procedure. Various urology specialists in Spain with experience in prostatic urethral lift have prepared this consensus document. Endorsed by the Spanish Urology Association, its information is based on the most recent findings. The main objective of this document is to disseminate the consensus recommendations among all professionals treating patients with lower urinary tract symptoms/benign prostatic hyperplasia. Both primary care physicians and urologists can assess and offer prostatic urethral lift as an effective, minimally invasive treatment.
