Comparing two laser surgeries for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of laser surgery (Thulio and Holmium) for treating an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). It aims to see which laser works better and is safer, so you may get a more effective procedure with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
