Comparing prostate surgery tools for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of electrodes used in bipolar enucleation, a surgery to treat an enlarged prostate. It aims to find which electrode is safer or more effective, helping improve outcomes for patients with urinary symptoms.

This study compares two surgical methods to treat severely enlarged prostate glands. In both, the surgeon removes extra prostate tissue to relieve blockages, and one method uses a special fluid to help separate the tissue more safely. If you're considering surgery for your prostate, this trial may offer a less invasive option.
This study is testing a new way to perform prostate surgery using a single tool that can use either laser or bipolar energy. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for men with a large prostate (40 cc or more) who need surgery to help with urination problems.
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 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 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 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.
