UroLift for the Treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in a Patient with AMS 700 Penile Prosthesis: The First Reported Case
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The UroLift system (Teleflex Inc.) is a minimally-invasive and non-ablative technique used for the treatment of male lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. It has been introduced as an alternative to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) to avoid any unwanted side affects such as erectile dysfunction, hospital stay and catheterisation. A 68-year old patient with bothersome LUTS and significant co-morbidities presented for consideration of UroLift to avoid the risks associated with more invasive TURP surgery. The patient had previously had an AMS 700 MS implanted penile prosthesis (IPP) inserted for erectile dysfunction refractory to medical therapy. To the authors best knowledge, there have been no reports or published literature on the use of the UroLift device to treat male LUTS in the presence of an IPP. This case report aims to present this unique case and discuss operative technique for use of the UroLift device in the presence of an IPP.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
