Rezūm vs TURP for blocked urine from enlarged prostate
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two procedures—Rezūm (water vapor therapy) and TURP (a surgery)—for men whose urine blockage is not improving. The goal is to see which option works better and is safer for relieving urinary retention due to an enlarged prostate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two minimally invasive procedures to relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. Both treatments aim to open the urethra without major surgery, and the goal is to improve your urine flow and reduce bothersome symptoms.
This trial compares two surgeries for men with an enlarged prostate who have trouble urinating and need a catheter. It helps find out which procedure works better for getting patients back to normal urination.
This study compares two treatments for an enlarged prostate: Optilume (a catheter-based system) and Rezum (water vapor therapy). It's for men with moderate symptoms who haven't tried other treatments before.
This study compares two minimally invasive heat-based treatments for enlarged prostate glands that are causing urinary symptoms. Both treatments target the middle lobe of the prostate, which often causes the most obstruction.
