First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This registry will follow 3,000 men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) who undergo Aquablation, a waterjet-based procedure to remove excess prostate tissue. Researchers will collect data from medical records to evaluate how well the procedure improves urinary symptoms and its safety. No extra tests or visits are required beyond standard care.
