Prostate adenoma is a condition that can cause severe clinical manifestations, and if it is not treated properly, it can lead to complications with a significant impact on the quality of life, even putting it at risk. The most suitable treatment is determined by the urologist, for each individual patient, after a specialist consultation and specific investigations, such as blood and urine tests, abdominal ultrasound or ultrasound reno-vesico-prostatic and even multiparametric MRI of the prostate or prostate biopsy, to rule out prostate cancer. Treatment for prostate adenoma is necessary when the symptoms become difficult for the patient to bear. There are several options, depending on the particularities of each individual case. Surgical treatment is recommended when the medication does not provide the desired results. Thus, the doctor can recommend a prostatectomy, which partially or completely removes the prostate. Such an intervention can also be performed through minimally invasive, laparoscopic or robotic surgery. Also, depending on the case, the specialist can indicate other modern, minimally invasive or non-surgical treatment options, such as prostate adenoma embolization or ablation, transurethral prostate resection (TURP), prostate enucleation or therapy Summary. Prostate adenoma embolization is a minimally invasive, interventional radiology procedure, performed with the help of a catheter that is inserted into the blood vessels that supply blood to the prostate and through which, under radiological guidance, the doctor injects some special particles, with a role in blocking the flow of blood to the prostate. In this way, the prostate reduces its size, and the clinical manifestations improve. The ablation of the prostate adenoma aims to destroy the prostatic tissue that prevents the normal elimination of urine. The procedure can be performed with a laser, water jet or steam, but also by thermal ablation. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), a minimally invasive surgical intervention, allows the resection of a section of the prostate, with the help of a special instrument called a resectoscope, through a transurethral approach. Prostate enucleation is a minimally invasive, endoscopic surgical technique, without incisions, through which the urological surgeon removes the hyperplastic tissue of the prostate with the help of a laser. In this way, symptoms are improved and a good quality of life is achieved. Water vapor therapy Summary is a new method of thermal ablation, non-surgical, successfully used in the treatment of prostate adenoma. The prostate tissue is destroyed with the help of water vapor, allowing the relief of symptoms and the preservation of continence and potency. In order to have access to different treatment methods for prostate adenoma, it is important that patients go to a modern medical center, equipped with high-performance equipment and a very well-trained and experienced medical team. At the SANADOR Clinical Hospital, patients with prostate adenoma prostate have access to modern methods of treatment for this condition, depending on the indication established by the doctor. Patients benefit from both minimally invasive, laparoscopic or robotic surgical procedures, the latter being performed with the help of one of the most advanced surgical robots, da Vinci Xi, as well as endourological procedures or non-surgical treatments. Surgical interventions, when there is an indication, are performed at the SANADOR Clinical Hospital under increased safety conditions, in a very well equipped, with the support of specialists from the category I Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care.
