Exercise program before prostate laser surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether patients with enlarged prostates can benefit from an exercise and education program before undergoing a laser procedure to remove prostate tissue. The goal is to see if preparing your body beforehand helps with recovery and outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if doing pelvic floor physical therapy before prostate surgery (HoLEP) helps reduce stress urinary incontinence (leaking after sneezing, coughing, or laughing). It may help patients who are scheduled for this surgery due to an enlarged prostate.
This study looks at how anxious and scared men feel before two common prostate surgeries: HoLEP and TURP. It aims to better understand these feelings and help patients in the future.
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 study compares two different laser technologies used during a minimally invasive prostate surgery called HoLEP. You'll be randomly assigned to one laser type and asked to complete brief surveys online after your procedure to help doctors understand which works best for reducing urinary symptoms.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgeries to treat a very enlarged prostate (BPH) when medicines are not enough. It aims to see which approach gives better relief for men with large prostates.
This study measures how much prostate tissue is removed during a minimally invasive laser surgery (HoLEP) and tests whether the amount removed can predict how much your urinary symptoms improve. Understanding this connection may help doctors better predict surgery outcomes for men with urinary problems.
