Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a multicenter prospective patient registry designed to evaluate clinical, functional, and safety outcomes after minimally invasive prostate interventions (MIST) performed for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The interventions included in this registry represent standard-of-care treatment options and may include Rezum water vapor therapy, UroLift prostatic urethral lift, Aquablation, prostatic artery embolization (PAE), iTind, transperineal laser ablation (TPLA), transurethral needle ablation (TUNA), and transurethral microwave therapy (TUMT).

The registry collects standardized data using a secure REDCap platform from participating international centers. Data elements include demographic characteristics, comorbidities, medication use, laboratory parameters, prostate volume assessments, uroflowmetry, post-void residual measurements, patient-reported symptom scores, sexual function assessments, intraoperative details, complications (classified using Clavien-Dindo), and postoperative recovery parameters. Follow-up visits occur at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months, with an optional extended follow-up at 72 months to assess long-term durability and reintervention-free survival.

The primary aim of the study is to evaluate improvements in urinary symptoms (IPSS), quality of life, maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), and post-void residual volume (PVR) following MIST procedures. Secondary objectives include assessing perioperative safety, catheterization duration, predictors of treatment success or failure, need for reintervention, and long-term preservation of continence and sexual function.

This registry is observational and does not assign or modify any treatment. All procedures are performed based on local clinical practice and physician judgment. Prospective participants provide informed consent. Data collected will be used to generate real-world evidence to guide patient selection, optimize procedural outcomes, and compare clinical performance across different minimally invasive prostate interventions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent cause of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in aging men. Minimally invasive surgical therapies (MIST) have become increasingly utilized due to their favorable safety profiles, reduced hospitalization times, preservation of sexual function, and quicker return to normal activities. Despite their growing use, comparative real-world data across MIST modalities remain limited, especially regarding long-term functional outcomes and retreatment rates.

The MIST Registry is an investigator-initiated, non-commercial, multicenter, observational cohort study coordinated by the Department of Urology at Necmettin Erbakan University. The aim is to systematically collect high-quality clinical data from centers using a standardized REDCap electronic data capture system. The registry includes patients treated with any guideline-supported minimally invasive prostate intervention, including Rezum, UroLift, Aquablation, prostatic artery embolization (PAE), iTind, TPLA, TUNA, and TUMT. These procedures are performed as part of routine clinical care and not assigned by the study.

Data collection includes demographics, comorbidities, prior BPO treatments, LUTS medication history, PSA levels, prostate volume, presence and size of median lobe, uroflowmetry parameters, PVR, patient-reported outcomes (IPSS, QoL, IIEF-5, MSHQ-EjD), and urodynamic findings when available. Intraoperative data include type of MIST technique, procedure duration, device usage, energy delivery parameters, imaging guidance, estimated blood loss, and intraoperative complications. Postoperative outcomes include catheterization duration, early complications within 30 days, rehospitalization, urinary retention, infections, and device-related events. Complications are categorized according to the Clavien-Dindo classification, and bladder injury can be scored using the BICEP system where relevant.

Follow-up assessments occur at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 36 months, with optional long-term evaluations at 72 months. Outcomes assessed include symptom scores, Qmax, PVR, PSA, medication changes, and any surgical or minimally invasive reinterventions. Statistical analyses will include descriptive summaries, longitudinal comparisons, multivariable modeling to identify predictors of success or failure, and Kaplan-Meier estimates of reintervention-free survival.

The registry is designed to generate real-world evidence that reflects routine clinical practice across diverse populations and healthcare systems. Findings are expected to inform patient selection, refine procedural decision-making, improve counseling on expected outcomes, and support comparative effectiveness research among emerging minimally invasive prostate treatments.
