Comparing two procedures for enlarged prostate symptoms
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares a new, less invasive laser procedure (MILEP) with the standard surgery (EEP) for treating bothersome urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It aims to see if the new approach is just as safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two minimally invasive procedures for treating an enlarged prostate: one uses a laser (holmium enucleation) and the other uses a robotic water jet. The goal is to see which treatment better improves urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate.
This trial compares two minimally invasive procedures to relieve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. Both treatments aim to open the urethra without major surgery, and the goal is to improve your urine flow and reduce bothersome symptoms.
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 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 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.
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.
