This study compares two different laser technologies used during a minimally invasive prostate surgery called HoLEP. You'll be randomly assigned to one laser type and asked to complete brief surveys online after your procedure to help doctors understand which works best for reducing urinary symptoms.
This study measures how much prostate tissue is removed during a minimally invasive laser surgery (HoLEP) and tests whether the amount removed can predict how much your urinary symptoms improve. Understanding this connection may help doctors better predict surgery outcomes for men with urinary problems.
This trial compares Aquablation with a laser procedure (HoLEP) to improve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged, non-cancer prostate. It may help you understand which treatment works better for symptom relief in men with medium-to-large prostates.
This trial tests a new tool (the Beacon Platform) that helps doctors perform a type of laser surgery for an enlarged prostate, called HoLEP. The goal is to see if it makes the surgery easier and more effective, which could help you urinate better.
This study compares two different laser techniques (HoLEP and ThuLEP) for treating an enlarged prostate that's causing urinary symptoms. Both are minimally invasive surgical options; the trial will help determine which works better for symptom relief.
This trial looks at whether doing a prostate “laser procedure” (called HoLEP) before starting radiation and hormone therapy can improve severe urinary symptoms and reduce urine retention problems. It is for people with prostate cancer who are planning radiation plus hormone treatment and who have significant bladder/urinary trouble.
