A novel study conducted by an Italian research team has been published in the scientific journal Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases (1). The study demonstrates the effectiveness of transurethral intraprostatic anaesthesia (TUIA) using the Schelin Catheter® (registered trademark of ProstaLund AB) in patients with benign prostatic enlargement before temporary implantable nitinol device (iTIND, registered trademark of Olympus) procedures.
The study aimed to assess pain scores during and after implantation of the temporary implantable nitinol device. Patients were divided into two groups: one receiving TUIA with the Schelin Catheter®, and the other treated with standard anaesthesia protocols (local anaesthetics in the urethra or conscious intravenous sedation).
The results revealed that pain scores during the procedure and at the time of the nitinol device removal were similar across both groups. However, at 24 and 48 hours post-procedure, the group treated with TUIA using the Schelin Catheter® reported significantly lower pain scores. This is a clinically significant finding, as patients undergoing the temporary implantable nitinol device procedure often experience varying degrees of discomfort during the postoperative period while the device remains in place.
The authors conclude that TUIA with the Schelin Catheter® provides effective and sustained pain relief during and after the procedure, supporting its use in outpatient settings.
