Wasim Mahmalji was the first surgeon to introduce iTind to the region. The iTind treatment is a simple procedure performed by a urologist either in the hospital or a clinic. The device is placed in the prostatic urethra in a folded configuration. During the 5 to 7-day treatment, it slowly expands and exerts gentle pressure at three precise points to widen the opening through which urine flows through the prostatic urethra and then out of the body. After 5 to 7 days, the device is completely removed. Clinical trials demonstrate that the newly remodeled prostatic urethra will continue to provide long-lasting relief of BPH symptoms.
