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 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.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures that remove extra prostate tissue to help with urination problems. It may help if other treatments haven't worked.
This study compares three different surgeries for an enlarged prostate: a newer water vapor treatment (Rezum), a laser surgery (HoLEP), and a standard procedure (TURP). The goal is to see which one works best for improving urinary symptoms with the fewest side effects.
