Confirmed bladder cancer within the last 2 years or currently suspected bladder cancer 3. History of acute bacterial prostatitis within the last 2 years 4. Median lobe obstruction of the prostate as confirmed by cross-sectional imaging 5. PSA value \> 10 ng/ml 6. Contraindicated for iTind or UroLift as determined by the PI 7.

Diagnosed with urethral stricture, meatal stenosis, bladder neck contracture, rectal disease, artificial urinary sphincter, incompetent sphincter, urinary incontinence due to incompetent sphincter 10. Prior rectal surgery (other than hemorrhoidectomy) or history of rectal disease treatment if the therapy may potentially cause injury to site (e.g., if a transrectal probe is used), pelvic radiotherapy or radical pelvic surgery, urinary diversion surgery, prostate surgery, balloon dilation, urethral stent implantation, laser prostatectomy, or any other invasive treatment to the prostate, or penile prosthesis if it may prevent insertion of the iTind or UroLift device 11. An active urinary tract infection during randomization 12. Clinically significant hematuria within the last 3 months or ongoing cystolithiasis 13. Prostate volume \> 75 cc 14. Post-void residual volume (PVR) \> 250 mL 15. Actively using catheterization or unable to void naturally 16. Unable to complete a 2-week washout period for alpha blockers prior to procedure or unable to discontinue 5ARIs or daily use of PDE5 inhibitors by the time of procedure 17.
