Removing bladder stones with prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether removing bladder stones together with prostate surgery improves outcomes for men with an enlarged prostate and bladder stones. It aims to see if doing both at once is better than just removing the stones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a temporary drainage tube placed above the pubic bone during bladder stone removal surgery improves outcomes. You would be considered if you have a large bladder stone (over 2 cm) and are scheduled for minimally invasive surgery to break it up and remove it.
This study tests whether using real-time ultrasound during surgery for an enlarged prostate helps doctors remove prostate tissue more precisely. It may lead to better outcomes and fewer complications.
This trial tests whether adding tadalafil to tamsulosin helps men pass a catheter removal test after a first-time urinary blockage caused by an enlarged prostate. The goal is to find which treatment works best to avoid needing a catheter again.
This study compares two ways to remove bladder stones without open surgery. Both methods use a small camera and tools inserted through the body (either through the urethra or through a tiny skin opening), and the goal is to see which is safer and more effective for adults.
This trial compares two surgeries for men with an enlarged prostate who have trouble urinating and need a catheter. It helps find out which procedure works better for getting patients back to normal urination.
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.
