NCT07014969
Since its introduction in 1998 , and through numerous level 1a evidence, Holmium Laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) has come to be considered a size-independent golden standard treatment for management of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) endorse by all guidelines. Furthermore, Holep, together with minimaly invasive simple prostatectomy, is considered the most accepted alternative to Open simple protatectomy for prostates larger than 80ml. Despite being the most thoroughly investigated laser technique with enduring efficacy and low morbidity, HoLEP remains restricted to relatively few centers mostly due to the long flat learning curve and lack of access to mentorship programs . On the other hand, the prevalence of stress urinary incontinence following HoLEP was reported to be about (3.3%-26% ) To overcome these difficulties hindering the wide-spread adoption of HoLEP, several modifications of the original three-lobe technique have been described to improve surgical outcomes and overcome the learning difficulties . One of the newer modifications for AEEP that have shown promising results is the en-bloc enucleation with early apical release developed by Sancha et al in 2015 utilizing Green Light LASER which has the potential advantage of preserving the integrity of the external sphincter . The same principles of early apical liberation and sphincter mucosal preservation have been applied to lobe by lobe techniques as well. In this work the investigators aim to obtain high level evidence of efficacy of En-bloc HoLEP and its impact on early recovery of continence in comparison to the conventional lobe-by-lobe (LBL) HoLEP.
NCT05443451

NCT01747577
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate superiority of the solifenacin succinate (treatment) over the placebo (control) based on the change from the baseline in the mean number of urgency episodes per 24 hours after 2 weeks.
NCT06520267
The goal of this prospective observational study is to identify the common pathogens and antibiotic sensitivity pattern in urine samples of men with symptomatic BPH and to assess severity of LUTS in patients with symptomatic BPH using IPSS score before and after antibiotic therapy.
NCT05941260
The enlargement of the prostate is responsible for voiding dysfunction in men, and especially elderly men. The primary surgical treatment for symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) was transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). However, current resection techniques are predominantly experience-based and judgment-based, with little evidence to support the most effective portion of the prostate to be respected. So, the investigators plan through the study to construct a flow diagram to evaluate the amount of tissue needed to be resected to improve voiding flow dynamics.
NCT03131544
Over 100,000 BPH procedures are performed annually in the US. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of performing MRI guided transrectal laser ablation using a 980 nm laser (VisualaseTM by Medtronic, Inc., a Minnesota, U.S.A. company) to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). The laser system will be used to necrotize urological soft tissue within the prostate under MRI guidance. This will be a single center, single arm prospective trial with an anticipated enrollment of 10 men. Patients who elect this treatment option and choose to be part of the study will be enrolled consecutively.
NCT06116851
This is a prospective, single center translational multiple cohort study to investigate the association of gut microbiota and prostate cancer.
NCT02822924
The objective is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of PAE in treating patients with BPH.
NCT05531240
This study focuses on the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia which causes lower urinary tract symptoms. The purpose of the research project is to evaluate PAE in terms of both medical and health economic outcomes. To evaluate whether there are any differences in effect (IPSS), complications, costs and perceived quality of life compared with TUR-P.

Thuflep TLF: initial experience and results of prostate laser enucleation with fibrous thulium laser (TLF)
NCT05059431
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common and standard urological surgical procedure for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Although surgical technology improved in recent decades, severe complications such as TURP syndrome, hematuria, and postoperative hemorrhage were still considerable. Coagulopathy is one of rare but devastating complication which may contribute to bleeding during and after TURP. Although the exact pathophysiological condition of coagulopathy is not clear, there are several possible mechanisms of TURP associated coagulopathy including: urokinase- (u-PA) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA)-related fibrinolysis; absorption of irrigating fluid associated dilutional coagulopathy; release of prostatic particles rich in tissue thromboplastins into the circulation causing secondary fibrinolysis and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC); sepsis with DIC associated with bacteria entering the circulation due to prostatic venous sinuses opening and the using of high pressure irrigation. On the other hand, platelet are essential to hemostasis and thrombosis and its activation also contributes to leukocyte recruitment and DIC. Furthermore, previous studies demonstrated that activated platelets could express TLR4, CD40L, P-selectin and induce platelet-leukocyte aggregation (PLA), which were considered important for systemic inflammatory responses and DIC development. Currently, no study investigating the association of prostate particle and platelet activation. Here, we tested the hypothesis that prostate tissue may induce inflammatory responses through platelet activation by measuring the expression of TLR4, CD40L, P-selectin and PLA on platelets.

Perioperative bleeding is the most common complication related to transurethral resection of prostate, the aim of the study is to compare the effect of pre-operative use of finasteride versus Cyproterone acetate on blood loss with mono polar TURP
NCT02352311

NCT04514718
The purpose of this study is to prove that low-energy (30W) Holmium laser prostatectomy (Holeb) is not inferior to high-energy (100W) Holmium laser prostatectomy (safety and effectiveness)
NCT04212403
To investigate the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients undergoing TURP and TURB. The investigators set up a prospective, randomized controlled trial in which (after exclusion of risk factors) patients will be randomized in receiving levofloxacin (Tavanic) orally or no antibiotics. The exclusion criteria for TURP are a pre-operative transurethral catheter or \> 100 urinary white blood cells in the pre-operative urine sample. The exclusion criteria for TURB are a pre-op catheter or clinical signs of infection.
