Replying to @lesdeane
Agree! Collaboration with IR is key. Nice study. However, more RCTs with longer f/u are needed to give recommendations @eauguidelines @uroweb @KariTikkinen @trwherrmann @MariaJRibal

Congratulations to Mark Speakman @Parabolics and the team on his first NHS @UroLift list at @MusgrovePark. Mr Speakman was involved in the original BPH-6 study (UroLift v TURP) so its fantastic news that this procedure is now available on the NHS in Somerset.
