Our study suggests WVTT to be efficacious, durable, and safe in managing lower urinary tract symptoms across PVs, although PV > 80 cc patients may require benign prostatic hyperplasia medication at long-term follow-up. Further research is desired to clarify WVTT's role regarding sexual function and in treating men with larger PVs.
