Study of a single tool for prostate surgery using laser or bipolar energy
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
