Ejaculation physiology and dysfunction after BPH surgery: the role of the new MISTs

Area of Science:

• Urology
• Reproductive Medicine
• Surgical Innovation

Background:

• Human ejaculation is a complex function, and its loss after Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) surgery significantly impacts patient quality of life.
• Ejaculatory dysfunction following BPH treatment has been a long-standing concern for patients.
• Advancements in surgical techniques and technology aim to mitigate this issue.

Purpose of the Study:

• To provide a state-of-the-art analysis of the anatomical and physiological basis of human ejaculation.
• To explore the clinical applications of ejaculation-sparing principles in BPH surgery.
• To propose a novel physiological model for antegrade ejaculation.

Main Methods:

• Anatomical analysis of the

Main Results:

• Analysis of the ejaculatory apparatus from an anatomical perspective.
• Investigation of physio-pathological models of ejaculation, challenging the traditional
• Conclusions: [
• Modified surgical techniques and new technologies have revolutionized perspectives on human ejaculation.
• Recent clinical evidence challenges and overcomes previously established functional paradigms.
• Minimally Invasive Surgical Techniques (MISTs) are pivotal in this advancement, ushering in a new era for BPH surgery.
