NCT ID NCT06565741
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two laser methods (MoLEP and ThuFLEP) for removing prostate tissue in men with enlarged prostates (over 80cc). 120 men aged 40-90 who need surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two lasers. The main goal is to see which technique is faster, while also checking for differences in bleeding, hospital stay, and symptom improvement.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show which laser technique removes prostate tissue faster with less bleeding, improving surgical outcomes for men with enlarged prostates.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (120 participants) comparing two established techniques, so differences may be minor. Results may not apply to all surgeons or hospitals.
