Minimally Invasive Therapies (MIST)

Proven Alternatives to Conventional Surgery

Advanced office-based and day-case procedures for benign prostate enlargement offering effective symptom relief with faster recovery and preserved sexual function.

Minimally Invasive Prostate Therapies for BPH

Dr. Alhasani's Minimally Invasive Therapies programme offers patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) a range of proven, low-risk alternatives to conventional surgery. Procedures including UroLift®, Rezum water vapour therapy, iTind, and Aquablation are performed with precision under local or light general anaesthetic, with same-day discharge in most cases. Each approach is selected based on the patient's prostate anatomy, symptom severity, and personal priorities — including the preservation of sexual function. All procedures are available at Dr. Alhasani's clinic.

A typical minimally invasive therapy journey begins with a detailed consultation to understand your symptoms, prostate anatomy, and treatment goals. Dr. Alhasani will review imaging and diagnostic results, explain the most suitable procedure options, and develop a personalized treatment plan that balances effectiveness with your lifestyle and priorities — including the preservation of sexual function and rapid return to normal activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Minimally Invasive Therapies FAQs

UroLift is suitable for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) whose prostate size and anatomy are appropriate for the procedure. Dr. Alhasani will assess your prostate volume, urinary symptoms, and overall health during consultation to determine if UroLift is the right option for you.

Most men experience significant symptom improvement within 2 to 4 weeks after Rezum therapy. You can typically return to normal activities within a few days. Temporary urinary symptoms such as urgency or frequency may persist for a short period as the treated tissue resolves.

Minimally invasive therapies such as UroLift, Rezum, and iTind are specifically designed to preserve sexual function. Unlike some surgical options, these treatments do not involve heat or cutting near the nerves responsible for erectile and ejaculatory function, making sexual side effects rare.

Minimally invasive therapies (MIST) offer shorter recovery times, lower risk of complications such as bleeding and infection, and better preservation of sexual function compared to TURP. However, TURP may be recommended for very large prostates or complex anatomy where MIST is not suitable.

Coverage varies by insurance provider and policy. Many insurers in the UAE cover minimally invasive BPH treatments when deemed medically necessary. Dr. Alhasani's team will provide documentation to support your insurance claim and advise on payment options if needed.

Yes, in most cases patients can go home the same day after minimally invasive prostate therapies. Procedures are performed under local or light general anaesthetic, and patients are monitored for a short recovery period before discharge with follow-up instructions.
