BPH Global Registry (NCT05543200)

A Global Registry of Treatments and Outcomes for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

🟢 Recruiting Interventional Protocol 📊 Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Société Internationale d'Urologie

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common performed surgical procedures in urology. Over the past few decades there have been an increasing development of newer surgical treatment options. Additionally, the outcome parameters for BPH treatments have been standardized. While data are available for the initial pivotal studies, post-market release data are lacking. Under the umbrella of uCARE, we have started a prospective, ongoing international registry for recording demographics and outcomes for patients undergoing surgical treatments for BPH.
