Can a fluid injection make prostate surgery safer and less bloody?
NCT ID NCT07749794
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether injecting a fluid mixture around the prostate before surgery can make the procedure easier and reduce bleeding. Men with enlarged prostates and moderate-to-severe urinary symptoms will be randomly assigned to either the new hydrodissection-assisted technique or the conventional surgery. The study will compare blood loss, operation time, and recovery outcomes to see if the new approach offers benefits.

- Active substance
- Hydrodissection-assisted bipolar prostatic enucleation-enucleoresection with subcapsular injection of diluted norepinephrine and methylene blue
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this technique could make prostate surgery safer and faster, with less bleeding and quicker recovery for men with enlarged prostates.
