Comparing surgical techniques for enlarged prostate laser treatment
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests two different surgical approaches using a laser to treat an enlarged prostate. The study compares whether one technique reduces complications and improves outcomes better than the other.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of laser surgery (Thulio and Holmium) for treating an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). It aims to see which laser works better and is safer, so you may get a more effective procedure with fewer side effects.
This trial compares three different surgical techniques to treat enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) in men whose prostate is larger than 80 grams. The goal is to see which method works best over one year.
This study compares two different laser techniques (HoLEP and ThuLEP) for treating an enlarged prostate that's causing urinary symptoms. Both are minimally invasive surgical options; the trial will help determine which works better for symptom relief.
