First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new surgical technique for treating enlarged prostate in men who also have a penile implant. The standard approach through the urethra can damage the implant, so surgeons are trying an alternative route through the lower belly. The study will enroll 80 men and measure how well the procedure relieves urinary symptoms and its safety.
