Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
As this is a feasibility/pilot study the main aim is to see if the method is functional. Determining if the method of flow measurement is feasible I.e can be done and measured, in the context of the study. 1. Checking reproducibility by grading the flow twice to see if consistent. <br>2. Two assessors of flow to agree on outcome according to flow score<br>3. Feedback from assessors on the practicality and efficiency of measurement within time constraints and operating constraints of the procedure. Regular meetings will occur to discuss progress and the protocol in case any changes need to be made for practical reasons. No formal questionnaire is being done. [At the time of operation and feedback after each procedure within the recruitment period over 6 months]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Specific complication rates e.g. recurrent urinary retention, significant bleeding, further objective uroflowometry, ongoing incontinence, need for alternative management with suprapubic catheter or intermittent self catheterisation. This will be identified by going through medical records and the surgical audit programme prior to follow up. Also these things will be assessed at the follow up appointment in a clinic setting with a history, exam and flowometry at the time. <br>[Over 6 weeks follow up ];Patient satisfaction scores according to the International prostate symptoms score IPSS survey [At six weeks follow up]
