    SIU Tips and Tricks: Academy: Tailoring MISTs for BPH-Related LUTS: Size as a Deciding Factor

    Thursday, October 30, 2025
    14:00 - 15:30 GMT+0

      Co-Chair(s)

    • Mauro Gacci

    Learning Objectives :

    At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
    • Identify and differentiate ablative and non-ablative MISTs for BPH - Participants will be able to classify minimally invasive techniques based on their mechanism of action and understand their indications, benefits, and limitations.
    • Select appropriate MISTs based on prostate size and anatomical variations - P articipants will be able to choose the most suitable minimally invasive treatment for patients with small (<40 cc), medium (40–80 cc), and large (>80 cc) prostates, including strategies for managing median lobe involvement.
    • Evaluate the impact of MISTs on sexual function and quality of life - Attendees will be able to discuss expected sexual outcomes and patient-reported benefits of different MISTs, integrating this knowledge into shared decision-making.
