Prostate enlargement, or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), is a common condition affecting men over the age of 50. It occurs when the prostate gland grows in size and compresses the urethra, leading to urinary symptoms such as weak urine flow, frequent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying. For sexually active men, choosing the right treatment is crucial — not only to relieve symptoms but also to preserve sexual function and quality of life.
At Rahee Health Care, Bibwewadi, Pune, or at Ruby Hall Clinic, Sassoon Road, Pune-1 , Dr. Rajeev Chaudhari, a leading Senior Consultant Urosurgeon & Andrologist, offers Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques (MIST) for managing prostate enlargement causing bladder outflow obstruction ( BOO ) effectively while ensuring the best possible functional and sexual outcomes.
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a non-cancerous condition, but it can significantly affect a man’s urinary and sexual health. Traditional prostate removing Endoscopic surgeries like Laser prostate Surgeries such as THULEP OR HOLEP or TURP , though very effective, often carry a higher risk of side effects like erectile dysfunction or retrograde ejaculation.
MIST procedures, on the other hand, are designed to relieve urinary obstruction caused by prostate enlargement while minimizing the risk of sexual side effects. These techniques use modern endoscopic and energy-based tools to remove the prostate obstruction or shrink the enlarged prostate tissue with high precision, without excision or removal of prostate.
Minimally Invasive Surgical Therapies (MIST) refer to a group of advanced techniques that aim to treat prostate obstruction through small, targeted interventions. At Rahee Health Care, or at Ruby Hall Clinic, Sassoon Road, Pune-1 , Dr. Rajeev Chaudhari performs a range of MIST options depending on the size of the prostate, patient age, overall health, and sexual activity goals.
Laser Prostate Surgery (HoLEP, THULEP), Bipolar TURP : Uses laser energy or electrical energy to vaporize or enucleate or excise excess prostate tissue with minimal bleeding.
Let us look also at the MIST for prostate enlargement:
UroLift System: Implants small devices to lift and hold the enlarged prostate tissue, keeping the urethra open without cutting or removing tissue.
Rezūm Water Vapor Therapy: Uses steam energy to shrink prostate tissue safely, preserving ejaculation and erectile function.
ITIND : Uses TEMPORARY spring to push the obstructive prostate tissue through a catheter-based device to reduce the obstruction to the urine passage.
These procedures are typically day-care or short-stay treatments, requiring minimal downtime and offering faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. These are specially meant for persons who are sexually active and wants to stay that way after prostate surgery. In the MIST for prostate treatments, no prostate is excised.
For patients who wish to maintain their sexual health while treating BPH, minimally invasive surgeries offer significant benefits:
Preservation of Sexual Function: Many MIST options are designed to protect nerves and tissues responsible for erection and ejaculation.
Less Pain and Faster Recovery: Smaller instruments and precise energy use result in minimal trauma to surrounding tissues.
Reduced Risk of Complications: Minimal bleeding, infection, or scarring compared to conventional surgery.
Outpatient or Short Hospital Stay: Most patients return home the same day or within 24 hours.
Improved Quality of Life: Rapid symptom relief without compromising intimacy and sexual confidence.
