Laser Comparison for Enlarged Prostate Surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two advanced laser techniques (Moses 2.0 and Thulium fiber laser) for treating enlarged prostates (BPH) that are causing significant urinary problems. The goal is to see if one laser is more effective at removing prostate tissue and improving symptoms with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male and between 40 and 90 years old.
- You have bothersome urinary symptoms (like a weak stream, frequent urination, or trouble starting) that are not relieved by other treatments, or you have had a complete blockage that required a catheter.
- Your prostate is larger than 80 cc (about the size of a small lime) as measured by ultrasound or MRI.
- Your PSA level is below 4 ng/ml, or if it's higher, a special MRI shows no signs of cancer.
- You have not had any previous prostate surgery, pelvic radiation, or surgery for a tight urethra (urinary passage).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or less (not in the obese range).

This study compares two common surgeries for an enlarged prostate: a traditional electric loop resection and a laser enucleation (Moses HoLEP). The goal is to see if one offers better symptom relief and fewer side effects.
This study compares three different surgical laser techniques to treat benign prostate enlargement (BPH) that causes severe urinary symptoms and hasn't improved with medication. The goal is to find which method is safest and works best for large prostates.
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 study compares three different laser techniques used to remove excess prostate tissue that blocks urine flow. The goal is to find which laser is safest and most effective, potentially leading to better symptom relief and shorter recovery.
This study compares two surgical methods for men with a small enlarged prostate (30 mL or less) who have moderate to severe urinary symptoms. It tests whether adding a small cut in the bladder neck to the standard laser surgery (ThuLEP) works better than ThuLEP alone.
This study tests a laser surgery to treat an enlarged prostate that is causing urinary problems. It uses a special laser to remove blocking tissue and may help improve symptoms and urine flow.
