    This study developed a balloon dilation technique for benign prostatic hypertrophy using dogs. A 20-mm balloon inflated for 10 minutes achieved significant prostatic urethra dilation without long-term damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Urology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is a common condition in aging men.
    • Current BPH treatments can have side effects.
    • A minimally invasive technique is needed.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a balloon dilation technique for BPH treatment.
    • To assess the efficacy and safety of this technique in a canine model.

    Main Methods:

    • Canine model utilized due to prostate similarities with humans.
    • Retrograde transurethral approach for balloon dilation.
    • Balloon catheters of 8-20 mm diameter used for varying durations.

    Main Results:

    • Significant and long-lasting prostatic urethra dilation achieved with 20-mm balloons (or two 10-mm balloons) inflated for 10 minutes.

  • No significant deleterious histologic effects observed in the urethra or prostate up to 14 months post-procedure.
  • The technique showed potential for safe and effective BPH treatment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Balloon dilation is a promising technique for BPH treatment.
    • The developed method is safe and effective in a canine model.
    • Further human trials are warranted to confirm efficacy and safety in patients.
