Comparing two treatments for enlarged prostate symptoms
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures for treating an enlarged prostate: one uses a laser (holmium enucleation) and the other uses a robotic water jet. The goal is to see which treatment better improves urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 50 and 80 years old.
- Your prostate is enlarged, between 50 and 180 mL in size, based on an ultrasound.
- You have bothersome urinary symptoms with a score of at least 12 on a standard questionnaire.
- Your urine flow is slow, with a maximum flow rate of 15 mL/sec or less.
- You have not had prior surgery on your prostate or lower urinary tract, and no history of prostate or bladder cancer.
- You are able to attend study visits and follow instructions, and you are not currently taking blood thinners that cannot be paused (except low-dose aspirin).

This study compares a new, less invasive laser procedure (MILEP) with the standard surgery (EEP) for treating bothersome urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It aims to see if the new approach is just as safe and effective.
This trial compares two laser treatments for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) in men whose symptoms did not improve with medicine. It may help find which laser approach works better for improving urine flow and symptom relief.
This study compares two common surgeries for an enlarged prostate: a traditional electric loop resection and a laser enucleation (Moses HoLEP). The goal is to see if one offers better symptom relief and fewer side effects.
This study compares two different laser technologies used during a minimally invasive prostate surgery called HoLEP. You'll be randomly assigned to one laser type and asked to complete brief surveys online after your procedure to help doctors understand which works best for reducing urinary symptoms.
This trial compares Aquablation with a laser procedure (HoLEP) to improve urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged, non-cancer prostate. It may help you understand which treatment works better for symptom relief in men with medium-to-large prostates.
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.
