Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: UroLift System procedure
All eligible,enroled subjects will undergo a UroLift procedure.
|
Device: UroLift System Procedure
Minimally invasive procedure in patients with acute urinary retention secondary to BPH.
Other Name: Prostatic UroLift (PUL) |
No Intervention: Retrospective Arm
Chart review will be performed on all invasive BPH surgeries (TURP, Holmium Laser Enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), etc) performed by the site from June 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015

- The primary clinical outcome measure will be successful trial without catheter [ Time Frame: 3 days (± 1 day) from index procedure ]Success is defined as a spontaneous voided volume of ≥100 mL associated with a post void residual volume by ultrasound <300 mL 3 days (± 1 day) after the index procedure catheter placement without the need for re-catheterisation.
- Rate of serious adverse events (SAEs) related to BPH intervention [ Time Frame: Through 3 months ]Adverse events will be coded using MedDRA and Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) severity grades and will be presented by System Organ Class (SOC) and preferred term.
- Assess catheter free rate at follow-up [ Time Frame: 3 days (± 1 day) from index procedure to 12 months ]Assess days free from catheter
- Number of subjects who failed initial attempt but are able to void in subsequent TWOC [ Time Frame: 3 days (± 1 day) from index procedure to 12 months ]Failed initial TWOC
- Need for further clean intermittent self-catheterisation (CISC) [ Time Frame: 3 days (± 1 day) from index procedure to 12 months ]CISC evaluation
- Mean IPSS scores over follow-up [ Time Frame: 3 days (± 1 day) from index procedure, 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months ]Calculate mean IPSS scores over follow-up (range score 0 to 35) Mild (symptom score less than of equal to 7) Moderate (symptom score range 8-19) Severe (symptom score range 20-35)
- Peak flow rate evaluation [ Time Frame: 3 days (± 1 day) from index procedure, 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months ]Calculate peak flow rate (mL/sec) over follow-up
- Post void residual (PVR) (mL) volume [ Time Frame: 3 days (± 1 day) from index procedure, 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months ]PVR volume over follow-up
- Subjects free from alternative surgical procedure for BPH [ Time Frame: 3 days (± 1 day) from index procedure to 12 months ]Evaluate number of non-UroLift interventions during follow-up
- Duration of pre-index procedure catheter [ Time Frame: Screening ]Summarise length of catherisation prior to index procedure (days)
- Rate of adverse events [ Time Frame: Procedure to 12 months ]Adverse events will be summarised by overall adverse events (AEs), severe AEs (grade 3 or higher on CTCAE scale, AEs related to device and/or procedure, serious adverse events (SAEs) and SAEs related to device and/or procedure. Adverse events will be coded using MedDRA and Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) severity grades and will be presented by System Organ Class (SOC) and preferred term.
