Comparing Two Laser Surgeries for Large Prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are over 50 years old
- Your prostate is larger than about 80 ml (roughly the size of a small orange)
