Comparing two surgeries for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 minimally invasive surgeries to treat a very enlarged prostate (BPH) when medicines are not enough. It aims to see which approach gives better relief for men with large prostates.
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 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.
This trial compares three different surgical procedures for treating an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). It aims to see which one is most effective and safe for men who need surgery.
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.
