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 trial compares three different surgical procedures for treating an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). It aims to see which one is most effective and safe for men who need surgery.
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 study compares two types of laser surgery (holmium and thulium) for treating an enlarged prostate. It looks at how each procedure affects urinary control, the risk of urethral narrowing, and sexual function. If you're a man between 40 and 90 and need surgery for BPH, this trial could help determine which laser approach works best.
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.
