Comparing prostate surgeries for large prostates
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares three different surgical techniques to treat enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) in men whose prostate is larger than 80 grams. The goal is to see which method works best over one year.

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.
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 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.
