FloStent for enlarged prostate symptoms trial
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device called the FloStent, a small tube placed in the urine channel to help men with an enlarged prostate pee more easily. It's for men who have moderate to severe symptoms and haven't had prostate surgery before.
