Can a gel stop bleeding after prostate surgery and send men home the same day?
NCT ID NCT07789041
First seen Aug 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a gel called PuraStat, applied during Aquablation surgery for an enlarged prostate, can reduce bleeding and help men recover faster. Half of the 50 participants will receive the gel, and the other half will not. Researchers will measure blood loss in the hours after surgery and track how many men can go home the same day, which currently happens in only 1% of cases.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PuraStat hydrogel, a gel applied during surgery to help stop bleeding
- What this could lead to
- If it works, PuraStat could reduce bleeding after Aquablation and allow more men to go home the same day instead of staying overnight.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early trial, and PuraStat is not yet approved for urology. It may not reduce bleeding enough to change discharge rates, and there is a risk of infection or other surgical complications.
