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 study compares two surgical settings (high power versus low power) during a prostate procedure called HOLEP to see which is safer and works better for people with a large prostate. If you need surgery for an enlarged prostate, this trial may help improve how the procedure is done.
This study compares three different surgical laser techniques to treat benign prostate enlargement (BPH) that causes severe urinary symptoms and hasn't improved with medication. The goal is to find which method is safest and works best for large prostates.
This trial compares two ways to remove prostate tissue in men with an enlarged prostate (BPH). It tests if cutting out the tissue (enucleation) works better than shaving it down (resection) to improve urine flow and symptoms.
