Study Purpose

The goal of this single-centre prospective randomized clinical trial is to compare the post-operative use of temporary prostatic stent (Group 1) vs indwelling catheter (Group 2) in patients undergoing cryotherapy for targeted therapy of localized prostate cancer, transurethral water vapor energy ablation (REZUM) or transperineal laser ablation of the prostate with EchoLaser™ system for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) The main questions are: * Difference in quality of life, Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (scored with IPSS, International Prostate Symptom Score), urinary continence symptoms (scored with International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form, ICIQ-UI-SF) and patient satisfaction between indwelling catheter and temporary prostatic stent (Exime®) score with a non-validated questionnaire (Stent/catheter-related urinary symptoms questionnaire) * Difference in side effects and complications between indwelling catheter and temporary prostatic stent (Exime®) A total 120 of patients will be enrolled (Group 1: 60; Group 2: 60) with a 1:1 randomization ratio. The follow-up duration will be 6 months.

Intervention

Device : Temporary prostatic stent (Exime®)

Device : Indwelling catheter
