The purpose of the study is to evaluate procedure tolerability and surgical recovery following the UroLift® system procedure when conducted with local anesthesia in subjects with symptomatic benign hyperplasia (BPH). Primary effectiveness will be achieved by looking at the Quality of Recovery Visual Analog Scale (QoR VAS) by the one month follow-up visit.
The randomized portion of the study is a prospective, multicenter, non-blinded, single arm trial evaluating procedure tolerability and surgical recovery following the UroLift® system procedure when conducted with local anesthesia. All subjects undergo UroLift system treatment and will be followed through 5 years after receiving the investigational device.

The NeoTract UroLift System is a medical device approved for sale in the European Union, Australia, and Canada. The UroLift® System is indicated for the treatment of symptoms due to urinary outflow obstruction secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men 50 years of age or older. During the procedure, an implant is delivered into the prostatic lobe obstructing the urethra and restricting urine flow. The distal end of the device is used to compress the lobe then the implant is delivered to retain the lobe in position, thereby increasing the urethral opening and reducing the fluid obstruction through the prostatic urethra.

Quality of Recovery
Primary effectiveness will be achieved when 80% (95% lower confidence limit) of subjects achieve a score of 80 or more on the Quality of Recovery Visual Analog Scale (QoR VAS) by the one month follow-up visit. The VAS scale is 0-100, with 100 being 100% recovery.

IPSS Scores at Baseline and 12 Month Follow-up
The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is an 7 question written screening tool used to screen for, rapidly diagnose, track the symptoms of, and suggest management of the symptoms of the disease benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Lower scores are indicative of less symptoms. Score Correlation\[1\] 0-7 Mildly symptomatic 8-19 Moderately symptomatic 20-35 Severely symptomatic
Time frame: 12 Months
IPSS 12 Month Change From Baseline
The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is an 7 question written screening tool used to screen for, rapidly diagnose, track the symptoms of, and suggest management of the symptoms of the disease benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) using a total score from 0 - 35. The larger number for Change in IPSS Score 12 Month Follow-up from Baseline, demonstrate the improvement in IPSS.

IPSS 12 Month Percent (%) Change From Baseline
The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is an 7 question written screening tool used to screen for, rapidly diagnose, track the symptoms of, and suggest management of the symptoms of the disease benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) using a total score from 0 - 35. The larger Percent (%) Change in IPSS Score at 12 Month Follow-up from Baseline, demonstrates the improvement in IPSS (the mean score was change by X %). Note: Percent (%) Change: is the mean % change of each subject.

BPH Impact Index (BPH II) A validated questionnaire to measure how much urinary problems of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia affect domains of health. BPHII total score is the combined (sum) of scores for Questions 1-4 (sum range of 0-13 scoring is presented below) MAX of 13 would be 3,3,3,and 4: A score of zero = Patient experiences no BPH impact and does not add any to score. Questions 1-4: 1. Over the past month how much physical discomfort did any urinary problems cause you? \& 2. Over the past month, how much did you worry about your health because of any urinary problems? 0 None, 1, 2, 3 A lot. 3. Overall, how bothersome has any trouble with urination been during the past month? 0 Not at all bothersome,1,2,3 Bothers me a lot. 4. Over the past month, how much of the time has any urinary problems kept you from doing the kind of things you would usually do? 0 None of the time, 1,2,3, 4 All of the time.
