Laser treatment for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new laser treatment (blue diode laser vaporization) for an enlarged prostate. It aims to improve urinary symptoms with a less invasive approach than traditional surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a man age 50 or older.
- You must have bothersome urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate (BPH).
- You should not have bladder stones, a urethral stricture, or a history of prostate surgery (TURP).
- You must not have prostate cancer or a neurological condition that affects bladder function (like Parkinson's disease or a stroke).
- You must be able to safely undergo surgery, meaning no active infection, no bleeding problems, and you can be positioned for the procedure.

This study compares two laser surgery methods to treat an enlarged prostate. It aims to see which one better preserves urinary control and sexual function while reducing the chance of a narrowed urethra.
This study tests if laser therapy can help men whose BPH symptoms came back after a previous less invasive procedure. It's a way to treat the blockage without more major surgery.
This trial tests a new laser treatment for an enlarged prostate that has not improved with medication. The goal is to relieve urinary symptoms by removing or shrinking the tissue blocking urine flow.
This study compares two minimally invasive treatments for an enlarged prostate that is blocking urine flow. It aims to see which method—Rezūm (water vapor therapy) or EchoLaser (laser using ultrasound guidance)—better relieves urinary symptoms and improves quality of life.
This study is a European registry tracking how a laser treatment (TPLA) helps men with an enlarged prostate and bothersome urinary symptoms. It aims to see how safe and effective this new procedure is for daily life.
