Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I) — 12 months
  PGI-I is a validated questionnaire that collects the patient's impression of improvement after the surgery. Among this 7-point scale (very much better, much better, a little better, no change, a little worse, much worse and very much worse), we ask the patients to check the one number that best decribes how their urinary tract condition is now, compared with how it's was before the surgery. Patients who score little or much or very much better will be considered a treatment success. We measure the percentage of patient who describe the treatment success
• Adverse events — 12 months
  Adverse events are any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury or any untoward clinical signs in subjects. Adverse events will be categorized according to relatedness to device or procedure, severity, and frequency. At 12-months, we measure the percentage of patients without any device related severe or serious adverse events.
