TURP outcome prediction study for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study is building a tool to predict how well a surgery called TURP (a procedure to remove part of the prostate) works for men with an enlarged prostate. It may help you and your doctor decide if TURP is a good option for your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 18 or older
- You have been diagnosed with an enlarged prostate (BPH) by your doctor
- Your doctor has recommended TURP because of your symptoms or complications
- You have completed certain tests before surgery (like a symptom questionnaire, ultrasound, blood test for PSA, and a urine flow test)
- You do not have prostate cancer or a history of prostate surgery

This study compares two minimally invasive devices (iTind and UroLift) to treat urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It is for men whose symptoms are bothersome enough to need treatment.
This study helps doctors predict which men will benefit most from prostate enlargement surgery by using imaging scans and bladder tests done before surgery. The goal is to improve how doctors choose patients and predict recovery.
This trial compares two ways to remove prostate tissue in men with an enlarged prostate (BPH). It tests if cutting out the tissue (enucleation) works better than shaving it down (resection) to improve urine flow and symptoms.
This trial tests whether using real-time ultrasound during endoscopic prostate surgery helps surgeons remove prostate tissue more completely and safely. Men aged 50-80 with an enlarged prostate who are scheduled for certain types of prostate surgery may be eligible.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for treating an enlarged prostate (BPH) when medication hasn't worked. It looks at which method—bipolar TURP or bipolar enucleation—may be safer and more effective for men with moderate to severe symptoms.
This study compares two surgical techniques for enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) to see which one works better and how satisfied patients are afterward. If you have moderate prostate enlargement and urinary symptoms, this trial might help improve your treatment.
