Bipolar Versus Laser Enaculation of Prostate for >80gram Prostate .
NA · Menoufia University · NCT05784181
This study is testing which treatment, Bipolar surgery or laser surgery, works better for men with enlarged prostates over 80 grams to see which one helps them recover faster and need fewer follow-up procedures.

What this trial studies
This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Bipolar transurethral resection and Holmium laser enucleation in patients with prostate sizes greater than 80 grams. It will involve a randomized comparative approach, where patients will be selected based on specific criteria including urinary flow rates and symptom scores. The study will assess outcomes such as recovery time and the need for retreatment after the procedures. Conducted at Menoufia University Hospital, it seeks to provide insights into the best surgical management for enlarged prostates.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are men with prostate volumes greater than 80 grams and specific urinary flow and symptom scores.
Not a fit: Patients with prostate sizes less than 80 grams or those with urethral strictures or acute urinary tract infections may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical options for patients with enlarged prostates, potentially reducing complications and recovery times.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with laser enucleation techniques, suggesting potential benefits over traditional methods, but this specific comparison is less commonly explored.
