Real-time ultrasound guidance for BPH surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using real-time ultrasound during endoscopic prostate surgery helps surgeons remove prostate tissue more completely and safely. Men aged 50-80 with an enlarged prostate who are scheduled for certain types of prostate surgery may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male between 50 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate (BPH) and are scheduled for a type of surgery called TURP or prostate adenoma enucleation.
- Your doctor has confirmed that you need this surgery according to standard guidelines.
- You are generally healthy enough to undergo surgery.
- You do not have prostate cancer.
- You have not had previous prostate or urethral surgery, a neurogenic bladder, or a urethral stricture.

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 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 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.
This study is building a tool to predict how well a surgery called TURP (a procedure to remove part of the prostate) works for men with an enlarged prostate. It may help you and your doctor decide if TURP is a good option for your symptoms.
This trial tests a robot-assisted method to take prostate tissue samples using an ultrasound probe placed through the rectum. It may help patients and doctors get clearer biopsy results when there are early warning signs of prostate problems, before a cancer diagnosis is confirmed.
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.
