About this trial
The study will be a prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing prostatic urethral lift (PUL) versus transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) patients with urinary retention. The primary objective of this study is to compare the catheter-free rates of PUL vs TURP. Secondary objectives include comparison of complications rates, cost effectiveness, patient satisfactory, symptom scores, quality of life measures and urodynamic parameters.
