Laser prostate surgery that spares ejaculation put to a Five-Year test
NCT ID NCT07819032
First seen Sep 14, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers at Mansoura University are tracking 46 men who had GreenLight laser surgery for an enlarged prostate, a procedure that preserves the ejaculatory hood. The study measures urinary symptom scores five years later to see whether symptoms return and how sexual function holds up. It is a long-term look at whether this technique offers lasting relief without sacrificing ejaculation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GreenLight laser photoselective vaporization of the prostate with ejaculatory hood preservation
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer men with an enlarged prostate a way to relieve urinary symptoms while keeping ejaculation intact.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study of men treated in the past, so the results may not apply to other patients or surgeons. Urinary symptoms can return over time, and preserving ejaculation is not guaranteed.
