Anesthesia type and prostate surgery outcomes
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for a prostate surgery called HoLEP, which removes excess prostate tissue to improve urine flow. The goal is to see if one type leads to better recovery or fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study looks at whether the amount of prostate tissue removed during a laser procedure called HoLEP can predict how much your urinary symptoms improve. It may help doctors better plan and personalize treatment for enlarged prostate.
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (numbing the lower body) versus general (putting you to sleep)—for men having prostate surgery to treat benign enlargement. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for this procedure.
This study looks at anxiety and fear in men having surgery for an enlarged prostate. It compares two types of surgery to see if one causes more worry before the procedure.
This study looks at how well a specific laser surgery (HoLEP) works for men with an enlarged prostate, and what factors might predict a successful outcome. If you are considering surgery for an enlarged prostate, this trial may help doctors understand who benefits most.
This trial compares different anesthesia methods to see which helps patients recover better after HOLEP surgery for an enlarged prostate. Results could help choose the best anesthesia for future patients.
