METHODS: Men with symptomatic BPH (IPSS ≥10, Qmax ≤12ml/sec, and prostate volume 25 cc-75 cc) were enrolled in a double arm, prospective multicenter study and randomized 2:1 iTind vs sham. The iTind device was implanted through a cystoscopic procedure under light sedation or local anesthesia and then removed after 5-7 days. The sham procedure entailed insertion and removal of a Foley catheter. Blinded groups were compared at 3 months and active arm was followed to 12 months with sexual health inventory for men (SHIM) and the international index of erectile function (IIEF). RESULTS: No treatment- or device-related de novo erectile dysfunction occurred after treatment with iTind. International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and sexual health inventory for men (SHIM) scores were not different from the control group at 3 months or from baseline at 1 year. There was a statistically and clinically significant improvement of total IIEF from baseline to 12 months follow-up in both younger patients (45-60yrs) and also in patients with a baseline SHIM of ≥21 of 8.1 ± 16.83 (p=0.024) and 6.07 ± 21.17 (p=0.034), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: iTind for treatment of LUTS secondary to BPH preserves sexual and ejaculatory function regardless of a man’s age, prostate volume, and baseline sexual function. In select groups, such as patients aged 45-60 or with no previous ED, sexual function may be modestly improved.
