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

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 compares two surgical techniques for treating an enlarged prostate (BPH) when medication hasn't worked. It looks at which method—bipolar TURP or bipolar enucleation—may be safer and more effective for men with moderate to severe symptoms.
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 trial compares two minimally invasive surgical procedures for an enlarged prostate that causes urinary problems. Both procedures aim to improve urinary flow while preserving your ability to ejaculate normally.
This study compares two surgical approaches for removing prostate tissue to relieve urinary symptoms. The experimental approach is designed to help men maintain normal ejaculation after surgery, while the standard approach may affect this function.
This trial compares two ways to remove prostate tissue in men with an enlarged prostate (BPH). It tests if cutting out the tissue (enucleation) works better than shaving it down (resection) to improve urine flow and symptoms.
