Partial vs complete prostate surgery to preserve ejaculation
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical approaches for men with benign prostate enlargement (BPH): one that aims to preserve ejaculation and one that removes more tissue. It looks at how well you recover urinary function and sexual outcomes after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re a man age 40 or older
- You need surgery for BPH (benign prostate enlargement)
- Your prostate size is between 30 and 150 cubic centimeters (measured by ultrasound or MRI)
- Your symptoms score is at least 12 (IPSS), and your urine flow is low (Qmax 15 ml/s or less)
- You can attend all planned study visits and understand/sign the consent form
- You have France’s national social security coverage

This trial tests two surgical approaches for enlarged prostate—one specifically designed to preserve the ability to ejaculate and a standard approach—in men with urinary symptoms who haven't improved with medication. You'll be asked about sexual and urinary function before and after surgery.
This trial tests a new device designed to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH), such as frequent or difficult urination. It may help improve urine flow and reduce discomfort without traditional surgery.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures that remove extra prostate tissue to help with urination problems. It may help if other treatments haven't worked.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate that causes urinary problems). Both approaches aim to relieve urinary symptoms while preserving your ability to ejaculate normally.

This study tests whether it's safe to stop taking alpha-blocker medicines soon after prostate surgery (instead of continuing them for a longer time). If you've had successful surgery to relieve prostate blockage, you may be able to stop these medicines earlier, which could reduce side effects.
