Comparing three laser methods for enlarged prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 is testing a new way to perform prostate surgery using a single tool that can use either laser or bipolar energy. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for men with a large prostate (40 cc or more) who need surgery to help with urination problems.
This study compares three different surgical laser techniques to treat benign prostate enlargement (BPH) that causes severe urinary symptoms and hasn't improved with medication. The goal is to find which method is safest and works best for large prostates.
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.
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.
