About the Prostate Enucleation Collaborative
The Prostate Enucleation Collaborative (PEC) is a nationwide initiative focused on advancing the care of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) through research, education, and clinical collaboration. Our members are dedicated to improving outcomes by promoting the use of enucleative procedures, such as HoLEP, as a highly effective and minimally invasive approach to BPH surgery.
Our Mission
We aim to improve the standard of care for BPH patients by fostering high-quality research, supporting provider education, and leading quality improvement initiatives focused specifically on prostate enucleation. Through collaboration across institutions, PEC is driving innovation and expanding access to advanced surgical care.
