Aquablation versus laser procedure for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares Aquablation with a laser procedure (HoLEP) to improve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged, non-cancer prostate. It may help you understand which treatment works better for symptom relief in men with medium-to-large prostates.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a man age 45 or older
- Your doctor must consider you a candidate for the HoLEP laser procedure
- Your prostate size must be at least 50 mL and no more than 150 mL (measured by a specific ultrasound test)
- Your urinary symptoms must be significant (IPSS 12 or higher, and quality-of-life score 3 or higher)
- Your urine flow is limited (Qmax 15 mL/s or less with a minimum bladder volume test) OR you are in urinary retention
- You must be able to give written consent and complete required questionnaires

This study compares three different surgical laser techniques to treat benign prostate enlargement (BPH) that causes severe urinary symptoms and hasn't improved with medication. The goal is to find which method is safest and works best for large prostates.
This trial tests two different surgical approaches using a laser to treat an enlarged prostate. The study compares whether one technique reduces complications and improves outcomes better than the other.
This study compares two different laser techniques (HoLEP and ThuLEP) for treating an enlarged prostate that's causing urinary symptoms. Both are minimally invasive surgical options; the trial will help determine which works better for symptom relief.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgical treatments for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). One uses a laser to remove prostate tissue; the other uses a high-speed water jet. The goal is to see which works better for relieving urinary symptoms with fewer side effects.
This study looks at how well a specific laser surgery (HoLEP) works for men with an enlarged prostate, and what factors might predict a successful outcome. If you are considering surgery for an enlarged prostate, this trial may help doctors understand who benefits most.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgeries to treat a very enlarged prostate (BPH) when medicines are not enough. It aims to see which approach gives better relief for men with large prostates.
