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.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate (BPH) that needs surgery.
- Your prostate is at least 40 cubic centimeters (about the size of a golf ball or larger).
- You have never had prostate cancer.
- You do not have a current bladder or urinary tract infection.
- You have not had any prior surgery on your prostate.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder and are not taking blood thinners.

This trial tests two different surgical approaches using a laser to treat an enlarged prostate. The study compares whether one technique reduces complications and improves outcomes better than the other.
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 study compares two different laser techniques (HoLEP and ThuLEP) for treating an enlarged prostate that's causing urinary symptoms. Both are minimally invasive surgical options; the trial will help determine which works better for symptom relief.
This trial tests a new disposable tool for removing excess prostate tissue in men with an enlarged prostate (BPH). It aims to see if the tool makes surgery faster and more efficient while reducing symptoms.
This trial tests a new tool (the Beacon Platform) that helps doctors perform a type of laser surgery for an enlarged prostate, called HoLEP. The goal is to see if it makes the surgery easier and more effective, which could help you urinate better.
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.
