The iTind implant is an innovative, minimally invasive treatment option for men suffering from Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). Dr Imran Ali specialises in advanced procedures like the iTind implant to help you regain your quality of life and alleviate the symptoms of BPH.
BPH is a common condition affecting some men as they age, characterised by an enlarged prostate gland. This enlargement can lead to various urinary symptoms, such as difficulty urinating or weak urine flow. BPH can significantly impact a man’s daily life and overall well-being, but effective treatments are available.
The iTind implant is a temporary device made from nitinol, designed to reshape the prostate urethra and relieve urinary symptoms caused by BPH. The iTind implant procedure does not involve cutting or burning tissue, making it a less invasive option that preserves sexual and urinary functions.
The procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia. You will receive specific instructions to prepare, including fasting and pre-operative assessments.
During the procedure, a urologist inserts the iTind device through the urethra into the prostatic urethra. The device expands and exerts gentle pressure at three specific points, reshaping the prostate. The iTind device remains in place for five to seven days.
After five to seven days, you will return to the clinic to have the iTind device removed. This process is quick and usually done without the need for additional anaesthesia.
No cutting or burning of tissue, preserving the integrity of the prostate.
Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours after device removal.
Provides significant and long-lasting relief from urinary symptoms.
Unlike some traditional surgeries, the iTind implant does not affect sexual function or ejaculation.
The procedure can be performed as a day stay procedure, so you can go home within a few hours after surgery.
When it comes to prostate health, two common conditions often cause confusion: Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. While both affect the prostate gland, they are distinct in nature and treatment approaches.
