Comparing two treatments for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two minimally invasive devices (iTind and UroLift) to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It is for men whose symptoms are bothersome enough to need treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
