Laser prostate surgery outcomes study
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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 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 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.
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 trial tests a new tool (the Beacon Platform) that helps doctors perform a type of laser surgery for an enlarged prostate, called HoLEP. The goal is to see if it makes the surgery easier and more effective, which could help you urinate better.
This trial looks at whether doing a prostate “laser procedure” (called HoLEP) before starting radiation and hormone therapy can improve severe urinary symptoms and reduce urine retention problems. It is for people with prostate cancer who are planning radiation plus hormone treatment and who have significant bladder/urinary trouble.
