Better Stream: Optilume for the Treatment of BPH

In this episode we discuss Optilume, a novel treatment for the urinary symptoms experienced by men due to an enlarged or obstructing prostate (BPH). In previous episodes, we have covered a variety of other BPH treatments ranging from the historical gold standard (TURP) to minimally invasive surgical therapies (MIST) such as Rezum, Urolift, and iTind to more specialized treatments such as HoLEP and robotic simple prostatectomy. So how does Optilume fit into this spectrum of BPH treatments? Does it really stand out from existing treatments or is it just another procedure to add to the list of options in treating BPH? How is the procedure performed? What are the risks and benefits? What is the recovery like? And, of course, how effective is it? To help us answer these questions, we are joined by a true expert.
