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 tests a laser treatment to remove prostate tissue for men with a small but bothersome enlarged prostate. It aims to improve urination symptoms with a less invasive approach.
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 compares two laser treatments for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) in men whose symptoms did not improve with medicine. It may help find which laser approach works better for improving urine flow and symptom relief.
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.
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 two advanced laser techniques (Moses 2.0 and Thulium fiber laser) for treating enlarged prostates (BPH) that are causing significant urinary problems. The goal is to see if one laser is more effective at removing prostate tissue and improving symptoms with fewer side effects.
