Bipolar prostate surgery comparison for BPH
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have trouble urinating (slow stream, frequent trips) due to an enlarged prostate.
- Your symptom score on a standard test (IPSS) is higher than 8 out of 35.
- Your peak urine flow is slower than 10 ml per second.
- Your prostate is between 60 and 100 grams (about the size of a lime to a small apple).
- You are between 50 and 80 years old.
- You do not have prostate or bladder cancer, a narrowed urethra, or a nerve problem that affects bladder control.

This study compares three surgical methods to treat very large prostates that cause severe urinary problems. The goal is to find which approach works best with fewer side effects over a year.
This study compares two surgical techniques for enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) to see which one works better and how satisfied patients are afterward. If you have moderate prostate enlargement and urinary symptoms, this trial might help improve your treatment.
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.
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 trial tests two surgical approaches for enlarged prostate—one specifically designed to preserve the ability to ejaculate and a standard approach—in men with urinary symptoms who haven't improved with medication. You'll be asked about sexual and urinary function before and after surgery.
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.
