The treatment group subjects underwent the UroLift (UL)system procedure. The subject was blinded as to whether he was in the control or treatment group. Unblinding occurred at 3 months post procedure after the assessments were completed. Between 3 and 12 month follow-up assessments, a subject was allowed to be retreated with the UroLift system if he met the retreatment inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects that went on to UL retreatment within the first 12 months were considered treatment failures, but started their follow-up schedule over. All subjects will be followed at a minimum of 5 years per the assessment schedule. | The control group subjects underwent a cystoscopy procedure. The subject was blinded as to whether he was randomized to the control or treatment group. Unblinding occurred at 3 months post procedure after follow-up assessments were completed. Between 3 and 12 month follow-up assessments, a subject was allowed to crossover and undergo procedure with the UroLift system, provided he met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subjects crossing over are then to be followed for 5 years post-treatment. If subject did not crossover, his participation was not required beyond the 12 month visit. |

Average of 4.9 implants per prostate implanted. The prostatic urethral lift is performed by placing permanent transprostatic implants to lift apart the prostate lobes and reduce urethral obstruction. | Sham treatment entailed rigid cystoscopy, a blinding screen and sounds that mimicked those of the prostatic urethral lift procedure. | Total of all reporting groups | |
