First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether men with an enlarged prostate who take blood thinners can safely stay on them during laser surgery. About 389 men will be randomly assigned to either continue their blood thinners or stop them temporarily. The goal is to see if continuing blood thinners increases the risk of bleeding complications.
