Background Rezum water vapor therapy and UroLift are among the minimally invasive surgical therapies (MISTs) gaining popularity in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This study aims to evaluate and compare the reintervention rates, a measure of durability, for Rezum water vapor therapy and UroLift as MISTs for BPH. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study using data from the TriNetX Global Collaborative Network, a large database of electronic health records from January 2014 to June 2024.

Article Synopsis
- Staghorn stones require surgical intervention due to the risk of complications, and two methods compared are multitract percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) and one-stage endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS).
- A study assessed 34 patients with staghorn stones, evaluating the effectiveness and safety of both techniques; results showed similar stone size, burden, and operative time.
- ECIRS led to significantly lower postoperative pain levels than multitract PNL, though both methods resulted in comparable stone-free rates, complications, and length of hospital stays.
