MP71-08 TWO YEAR DURABILITY OF THE PROSTATIC URETHRAL LIFT: MULTI-CENTER PROSPECTIVE STUDY
2014
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: To characterize the subject experience and evaluate early response to the Prostatic Urethral Lift (PUL) through a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized study. METHODS: 51 men with AUASI > 12, Qmax 12mL/s, and prostate volume 80 QOR), 90% reported improvement through PGI-I, 96% had returned to pre-operative activity, 100% of employed subjects had returned to work, and 75% of subjects would recommend the procedure to a friend. Subjects experienced improvement in AUASI (10.5), QoL (2.1), and BPH II (3.4) at one month assessment (p-Values < 0.001, Table 1). Peak urinary flow rate (Qmax) improved 3.1 ml/s (Table 1). Average erectile function scores did not change significantly, and both ejaculatory function and bother were improved (Table 1). CONCLUSIONS: PUL is tolerated under local anesthesia and can allow patients to quickly return to pre-operative activity. The procedure may provide rapid symptom relief and objective flow improvements while preserving sexual function. Table 1: Procedure details and patient experience assessments.
