Abstract Objective The objective of this study is to report “real‐world” outcomes of prostatic urethral lift (PUL) in a medically complex US military veteran population while employing liberalized procedural indications.

There were no prostatic size requirements, patients were accepted on anti‐platelet/anticoagulant therapy, no benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) medication washout was required, and there was no maximum post‐void residual PVR.
