Anesthesia Type and Prostate Surgery Outcomes
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares different types of anesthesia (numbing methods) used during a minimally invasive laser surgery to treat an enlarged prostate that's causing urinary problems. The goal is to see which anesthesia approach leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man 18 years or older
- You have an enlarged prostate (BPO) that needs surgery
- You are in reasonably good overall health (ASA score of 1–3, meaning no serious heart, lung, or other organ problems)
- You have never had prostate surgery before
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or are taking blood thinners that can't be stopped

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 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 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.
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 study compares two surgical techniques for enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) to see which one works better and how satisfied patients are afterward. If you have moderate prostate enlargement and urinary symptoms, this trial might help improve your treatment.
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.
