Two laser systems for prostate surgery: which works better?
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need prostate surgery (HoLEP) to treat bothersome urinary symptoms like frequent urination or weak urine stream
- You must have internet access and a device (phone, tablet, or computer) to answer survey questions after surgery
- You must be able to read and speak English
- You cannot be taking blood-thinning medications (like warfarin, apixaban, or dabigatran)
- You must have the mental ability to understand the study and give informed consent
