Zusammenfassung

Die Implantation von Geweberetraktoren (UroLift®, Hersteller: Neotract, USA) ermöglicht erstmalig als nicht ablative operative Technik eine moderate Deobstruktion, ohne Prostatagewebe zu entfernen oder zu destruieren. Die erzielbaren Behandlungsergebnisse gleichen mindestens denen der medikamentösen Therapie hinsichtlich der Linderung von Leidensdruck und Symptomatik (primäre Behandlungsziele) und übertreffen diese hinsichtlich Deobstruktion. Vorteil dieser Methode gegenüber allen anderen konservativen und operativen Therapieverfahren ist der Erhalt der Sexualfunktion. Derzeit erfolgt die Evaluation dieser Methode in prospektiv randomisierten Studien im Vergleich zur TUR-P (BPH-6-Studie), deren Ergebnisse für 2015 erwartet werden.

Abstract

The implantation of a tissue retractor (UroLift®, Neotract, Pleasanton, CA) allows for the first time as a non-ablative operative technique, moderate deobstruction without removal or destruction of prostate tissue. The achievable treatment results are at least comparable to drug therapy with respect to alleviation of suffering and symptoms (primary treatment aim) and superior with respect deobstruction. The advantage of this method compared to all other conservative and operative therapy procedures is preservation of sexual function. An evaluation of this method is currently being carried out and compared to TURP in prospective, randomized studies (BPH6 study) and the results are expected in 2015.
