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 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.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgeries to treat a very enlarged prostate (BPH) when medicines are not enough. It aims to see which approach gives better relief for men with large prostates.
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 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 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.
