Ultrasound guidance during prostate surgery for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether using real-time ultrasound during surgery for an enlarged prostate helps doctors remove prostate tissue more precisely. It may lead to better outcomes and fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged between 50 and 80 years.
- You have an enlarged prostate (BPH) and are scheduled for surgery to remove part of the prostate.
- Your doctor has said you are healthy enough for surgery.
- You have not had prostate cancer.
- You have not had previous surgery on your prostate or urethra.
- You do not have a neurogenic bladder (a bladder problem caused by nerve damage) or a urethral stricture (a narrowed urethra).

This study compares three different laser techniques used to remove excess prostate tissue that blocks urine flow. The goal is to find which laser is safest and most effective, potentially leading to better symptom relief and shorter recovery.
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 tests whether removing bladder stones together with prostate surgery improves outcomes for men with an enlarged prostate and bladder stones. It aims to see if doing both at once is better than just removing the stones.
This study tests a newer ultrasound-guided method for a prostate lift procedure, which may improve urine flow and reduce symptoms in men with an enlarged prostate. It is an exploratory trial, meaning researchers are checking how well the new approach works compared to the usual method.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures that remove extra prostate tissue to help with urination problems. It may help if other treatments haven't worked.
This study compares two common procedures for treating an enlarged prostate, a condition where the prostate grows and blocks urine flow. One procedure removes part of the prostate through the urethra, while the other blocks the blood supply to shrink it.
