  Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) refers to the non-cancerous enlargement of prostate. The treatment option depends on various factors such as age of the patient, prostate gland size, and severity of the disease. According to an article published in Urologic Clinic of North America, 2016, BPH is a common problem that affects over 20% of men in the U.S., which is around 15 million men. The treatment option includes medication, surgery such as open prostatectomy, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), and minimally invasive therapies such as transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) and minimally invasive therapies such as laser therapy, radiofrequency ablation, implants and others. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Surgical Devices are most important as surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia is common and generally very safe. However, there are risks with any surgery, such as those related to anesthesia. Benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery has a very high succe...

Nephrology and Urology Devices are getting better with continuous research and development activities by market players

  Nephrology is a field of medicine which concerns itself with the study of normal kidney function, kidney problems, the treatment of kidney problems and renal replacement therapy. Nephrology and urology devices are used in the treatment of urinary systems such as chronic kidney disease, kidney stone, urinary incontinence, and end-stage renal disease. With the advancement in technology, the adoption of innovative Nephrology and Urology devices has increased significantly. One of the most recent developments in Nephrology and Urology Devices is the development of Ultrasound Technology. Ultrasound technology actually uses ultrasound waves for diagnostic purposes. These waves can be directed to the prostate in order for the doctor to properly locate the exact location of the prostate in the body. Once this is located, doctors can use different tests such as Computer Assisted Tomography (CAT) scanner, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner, and Positron Emission Tomog...
