Laser vs standard surgery for enlarged prostate: which gets you home faster?

NCT ID NCT06649357

First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026

Summary

This study compares two common surgeries for an enlarged prostate: a newer laser technique (MoLEP) and the standard bipolar TURP. The main goal is to see which surgery leads to a shorter hospital stay. About 130 men with moderate to severe symptoms and a prostate size between 40 and 80 cc will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. Researchers will also compare surgery time, catheter use, complications, and how well the treatments work.
