However, direct comparisons between techniques are rare. This work compares 2-year functional outcomes and failure rates after implantable nitinol device (iTIND) and prostatic Urethral lift (Urolift).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Data of patients presenting with LUTS with an International Prostatic Symptom Score (IPSS) \u2a7e10,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Q<\/jats:italic>\n                      max\u2009&lt;\u200912\u2009mL\/s, and prostate volume\u2009&lt;\u200970\u2009mL were obtained retrospectively from two different referral centers\u2019 databases.

Treatment failure was defined as the need for surgical retreatment for LUTS or ejaculatory dysfunction.

Baseline characteristics were similar in both groups; however, Urolift patients were younger, with more significant prostate volumes and median lobe enlargement. No patients developed ejaculatory dysfunctions after the treatment, and the retreatment rate was similar in the two groups (13% vs 11.9%\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.8).
