    The workshop will review BPH therapies for office-based treatments of LUTS/BPH, including but not limited to iTind™, HoLEP, Rezūm™, and TPLA™. The hands-on course will provide practical applications of these technologies in terms of equipment, technical approach, and high-level review of clinical data. The faculty will provide first-hand practical instruction on best practices, including patient selection, technique selection, and tips and tricks. The faculty will provide international experience and evidenced-based summaries of the risks and benefits of these procedures to aid with patient counselling for informed consent. This will be a multi-sponsored training workshop.

    For this workshop, participants will be divided into working groups. The workshop room will be set up into stations, each focusing on one device/treatment modality. At each station, participants will review the existing evidence and guidelines related to a specific treatment modality for BPH, including patient selection, as well as gain practical skills related to the principles, procedures, and troubleshooting for each device. Experts will be present at each station to guide the knowledge base and hands-on training.

    Learning Objectives :

    At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
    • Understand the mechanism of action and technique for each BPH therapy.
    • Select the most appropriate patient for each procedure type, based on patient and prostate characteristics.
    • Know the clinical data supporting the use of each modality.
    • Apply the best-practice technique for each modality, based on the literature and expert opinion.
    • Recognize the challenges associated with each technique and perform appropriate troubleshooting.
    • Practice tips and tricks provided by the experts for executing these novel BPH therapies.
