ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is comparing two different surgical methods for treating men with a condition called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), which can cause problems with urination. The two methods being studied are transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and bipolar enucleation of the prostate. The goal is to find out which method is more effective and safer for relieving symptoms.

To join the trial, participants need to be men between the ages of 50 and 80 who have lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH, with a specific score indicating their symptoms. They should also have a certain level of urinary flow and prostate size. However, men with prostate cancer, bladder cancer, or other specific urinary conditions are not eligible. If you participate, you can expect to undergo one of the two surgical procedures and will be monitored for the outcomes related to your symptoms and overall safety. The study is currently looking for volunteers, so if you think you might qualify, it could be a good opportunity to receive treatment while contributing to important research.
