A cystourethroscopy with the insertion of a permanent adjustable transprostatic implant is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to alleviate urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). This condition involves the enlargement of the prostate gland, which can obstruct the urethra and lead to difficulties in urination. The procedure utilizes a rigid cystoscope, which is a thin tube equipped with a camera and light, allowing the physician to visualize the urethra and prostate during the operation. The primary goal of this intervention is to insert a single adjustable implant that helps to retract the obstructing lateral lobes of the prostate, thereby expanding the urethral lumen and improving urine flow. The implant is designed to be permanent and adjustable, providing a long-term solution for patients experiencing lower urinary tract symptoms. The procedure is characterized by its rapid recovery time and minimal discomfort compared to more invasive surgical options, making it an attractive choice for patients seeking relief from urinary obstruction due to prostate enlargement.
