Water Vapor Therapy Versus Bipolar Surgery for Enlarged Prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate that causes urinary problems). Both approaches aim to relieve urinary symptoms while preserving your ability to ejaculate normally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 50 or older
- You have moderate-to-severe urinary symptoms from an enlarged prostate (IPSS score of 13 or higher)
- Your prostate size is between 30 and 80 mL on imaging
- You have weak urinary flow (15 mL/s or less) and normal bladder emptying
- You are sexually active and want to keep your normal ejaculation ability
- You have tried, failed, or cannot tolerate prostate medications

This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical procedures for an enlarged prostate that causes urinary problems. Both procedures aim to improve urinary flow while preserving your ability to ejaculate normally.
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.
This study compares two surgical methods to treat severely enlarged prostate glands. In both, the surgeon removes extra prostate tissue to relieve blockages, and one method uses a special fluid to help separate the tissue more safely. If you're considering surgery for your prostate, this trial may offer a less invasive option.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses water vapor (steam) to shrink an enlarged prostate. It may help men with bothersome urinary symptoms who have not had other prostate procedures.
This trial tests a new way to treat an enlarged prostate using water vapor (steam) to shrink the tissue. It aims to improve urine flow and reduce symptoms without more invasive surgery.
This study compares two minimally invasive treatments for an enlarged prostate that is blocking urine flow. It aims to see which method—Rezūm (water vapor therapy) or EchoLaser (laser using ultrasound guidance)—better relieves urinary symptoms and improves quality of life.
