Comparing three surgeries for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares three different surgeries for an enlarged prostate: a newer water vapor treatment (Rezum), a laser surgery (HoLEP), and a standard procedure (TURP). The goal is to see which one works best for improving urinary symptoms with the fewest side effects.

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 compares two minimally invasive procedures for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). It tests whether water vapor thermal therapy or prostatic artery embolization works better to improve urinary symptoms.
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 compares two common procedures for treating an enlarged prostate, a condition where the prostate grows and blocks urine flow. One procedure removes part of the prostate through the urethra, while the other blocks the blood supply to shrink it.
This study compares three surgical methods to treat very large prostates that cause severe urinary problems. The goal is to find which approach works best with fewer side effects over a year.
