Guided water injection during prostate surgery for enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a guided water injection during prostate surgery helps remove the enlarged prostate more safely and effectively than the standard surgical method. It may help men with significant urinary symptoms who haven't improved with medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia).
- Your prostate is larger than 60 cc, as measured by an ultrasound.
- You have moderate to severe urinary symptoms, such as frequent or difficult urination (score of 12 or higher on a standard questionnaire).
- Medication has not worked well enough or has not been suitable for you.
- You do not have prostate cancer or suspicious biopsy findings.
- You have not had prior prostate surgery and do not have a current urinary tract infection.

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.

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 trial tests a surgery called endoscopic enucleation of the prostate for men whose bladder doesn't contract strongly enough to empty (detrusor underactivity or acontractility) due to an enlarged prostate. It aims to see if this procedure can help improve bladder emptying.
This study tests whether injecting a drug called epinephrine into the prostate during surgery can improve outcomes for men with large prostates. It aims to reduce bleeding and make the surgery safer and more effective.
This study is testing a new way to perform prostate surgery using a single tool that can use either laser or bipolar energy. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for men with a large prostate (40 cc or more) who need surgery to help with urination problems.
