There are three FDA-approved MISTs (Rezūm, Urolift, and iTind) and three emerging MISTs for BPH. Preliminary data suggest improvement in voiding symptoms and quality of life while minimizing unwanted sexual side effects. Long term data is required on the durability and safety of MISTs for BPH. MISTs mark a paradigm shift in BPH management. Sandwiched between conservative medical management and conventional transurethral surgery, these novel technologies promise to combine efficacy approaching that of TURP while sparing the negative side effects. We envision a future where BPH can be diagnosed and treated in an office-based setting with a standard cystoscope in one procedure.
