Prostate surgery for weak bladder muscle
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests an endoscopic procedure to remove prostate tissue in men who have an enlarged prostate and a weak bladder muscle. The goal is to improve their ability to urinate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a weak or non-working bladder muscle (called detrusor underactivity or acontractility), confirmed by a special bladder test (urodynamic study).
- The weak bladder muscle is not caused by a nerve problem (like Parkinson's disease or stroke).
- You have an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) that is not being treated with other surgical methods.
- You are willing to undergo a procedure called endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (removing prostate tissue through a tube).

This study looks at how well a standard prostate surgery (TURP) works in men who have trouble emptying their bladder completely due to an enlarged prostate. It aims to see if the bladder muscle's strength affects the surgery's success.
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 study compares two surgical methods to treat severely enlarged prostate glands. In both, the surgeon removes extra prostate tissue to relieve blockages, and one method uses a special fluid to help separate the tissue more safely. If you're considering surgery for your prostate, this trial may offer a less invasive option.
This study tests a non-surgical treatment that uses a small needle to stimulate a nerve in the ankle to help reduce frequent urination and urgency after prostate surgery. It aims to help you recover bladder control more comfortably.
This trial compares two common surgical methods for men with bothersome urinary symptoms due to an enlarged prostate. It aims to find which approach gives better relief with fewer side effects.
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.
