Laser system for kidney stones or enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new laser system during standard endoscopic procedures to break up kidney, ureter, or bladder stones or to treat an enlarged prostate. It aims to see if the laser works safely and effectively.

This study tests a laser surgery to treat an enlarged prostate that is causing urinary problems. It uses a special laser to remove blocking tissue and may help improve symptoms and urine flow.
This study is a European registry tracking how a laser treatment (TPLA) helps men with an enlarged prostate and bothersome urinary symptoms. It aims to see how safe and effective this new procedure is for daily life.
This trial tests two different lasers (HoYAG and TFL) used with a device called ClearPetra during a type of kidney stone surgery called mini-PCNL. It may help find which laser works better for people with larger kidney stones.
This trial studies using a specific laser technique to remove bladder tumors “en bloc” (in one piece) during a procedure. It may help reduce leftover tumor tissue and improve how safely the tumor can be removed for people with certain small, papillary bladder tumors.
This trial tests a new device that combines a laser with a special suction sheath to remove kidney stones during a standard procedure. It aims to make stone removal more effective by using suction to pull out smaller fragments.
This trial compares two laser devices used during a common procedure to break up and remove kidney or ureter stones. It aims to see which laser is more effective and safer for people with moderately sized stones.
