Summary

This study compares two surgical methods for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. The trial involves 140 men aged 50-80 with prostates of 80 mL or larger who are candidates for holmium laser enucleation. One group receives the standard three-lobe technique, while the other undergoes an inverted-T incision with early apical release. The main goal is to see which technique reduces operation time, with secondary measures including blood loss and laser energy used.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: holmium laser enucleation
What this could lead to: If one technique proves faster or safer, it could become the preferred surgical approach for men with enlarged prostates.
What could go wrong: This is a single-center study with 140 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or surgeons. Both techniques are already established, so major breakthroughs are unlikely.
