Summary

This study tests the safety of a temporary implant called iTind, placed for 5-7 days, against the permanent UroLift system for men with enlarged prostate symptoms. About 206 men aged 50 and older will be randomly assigned to one treatment. The main goal is to see which causes fewer complications within 3 months.
