CONCLUSIONS: Prior interventional therapy for BPH is associated with increased risks of urinary retention and incontinence after whole gland prostate cryoablation. Nevertheless, in properly selected patients, prior bladder outlet procedures are not an absolute contraindication to cryotherapy. Consideration should be given to management protocol in those men including but not limited to time for catheter removal postoperatively and continuing BPH medical treatment
