Prostate Surgery Comparing Two Methods to Preserve Ejaculation
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests two surgical approaches for enlarged prostate—one specifically designed to preserve the ability to ejaculate and a standard approach—in men with urinary symptoms who haven't improved with medication. You'll be asked about sexual and urinary function before and after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male with urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate that hasn't improved after at least 3 months of medication
- You are sexually active and in a continuous relationship with the same partner
- Your prostate symptom score is 8 or higher (measured by a standard questionnaire)
- Your prostate size is between 40 and 100 cubic centimeters (confirmed by ultrasound)
- You do not currently have ejaculation problems or other sexual dysfunction before surgery
- You can complete questionnaires about sexual and urinary function and provide written consent

This trial tests whether using a guided water injection during prostate surgery helps remove the enlarged prostate more safely and effectively than the standard surgical method. It may help men with significant urinary symptoms who haven't improved with medication.
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 trial compares two surgical approaches for men with benign prostate enlargement (BPH): one that aims to preserve ejaculation and one that removes more tissue. It looks at how well you recover urinary function and sexual outcomes after surgery.
