Optic fiber of 300um will be inserted at a distance of 8-10mm from the urethra. Each ablation lasts 6 minutes. Each fiber ablates at an energy of 1800J with a power of 2-3W. Treatment lasts for about 30 minutes.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

The intervention will take place in an ambulatory setting of the interventional radiology department using the combined Echolaser XVG system. The treatment consists of a local anesthesia to the perineal region. Within each needle, an optic fiber of 300um will be inserted. Each ablation lasts 6 minutes and each fiber ablates1800J at a power of 2-3W. At the end of the ablation there is a pull-back of about 1cm from the original ablation location. According to the dimension of the middle lobe of the prostate, multiple pullbacks can be used. The total ablation is 3600J for 2 fibers (1800J/ fiber) at the power of 2-3W for a total duration of about 30minutes. At the end of the treatment, a 20mg bolus of i.v. corticosteroid is given for anti-edema and anti-inflammatory effects. Antibiotic therapy (Ciprofloxacin 500mg and gastroprotective therapy is given for 5 days. After an adequate amount of time for observation, the patient is dismissed.

Create an international registry to assess long-term effectiveness of transperineal laser ablation for lower urinary tract symptoms, to assess functional outcomes, to assess safety, to determine baseline patient characteristics, to collect information on possible differences between centres applying treatment of transperineal laser ablation and to explore the optimal treatment indications and possible limitations. It an international prospective observational registry in which data is recorded of patients who are treated with transperineal laser ablation for lower urinary tract symptoms.
