First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new, ejaculation-sparing version of standard prostate surgery (HoLEP) for men with enlarged prostates. The goal is to relieve urinary symptoms while preserving the ability to ejaculate normally. Researchers will enroll 48 sexually active men and track ejaculation function and satisfaction after surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Ejaculatory-sparing HoLEP surgical technique
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer men a way to treat enlarged prostate symptoms without losing the ability to ejaculate normally.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 48 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new technique might not preserve ejaculation as hoped or could be less effective at relieving urinary symptoms.
