Active clinical trials for "Hyperplasia"

This is a prospective data registry to assess the treatment outcomes and complications of different treatment approaches in our hospital clusters.

Bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common problem, which impact patients' quality of life. It may lead to serious outcomes, including urinary tract infection, hematuria, bladder stones, urinary retention, hydronephrosis, and rarely renal insufficiency. Introduction of the Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) represented a turning point in minimally invasive laser therapy for BPH as it achieves size-independent prostatic cavities similar to simple open prostatectomy with significantly lower perioperative morbidity. Recently, Holmium Xpeeda side firing fibre was introduced and it stands apart from other available technologies as a combination of power and efficiency, which minimizes vaporization time. This technology seems to revolutionize utilization of the Holmium power and delivering more energy directly to the tissue, due to its capability of being in contact with the tissue. To date, no outcomes of the new Xpeeda laser fiber have been reported in the literature, which is striving for trials comparing XPS 180W with other competitors such as Holmium vaporesection with the new fiber Xpeeda. Therefore, this study is planned to compare both procedures in improving bothersome LUTS secondary to BPH, and to evaluate safety and cost effectiveness.

new treatment modality for BPH , less invasive and more effective.

A post-marketing study using Optilume Catheter System for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common benign neoplasm in men. Almost 90% of men in their 70s report lower urinary tract symptoms related to BPH. These symptoms carry a significant negative impact on the patients' quality of life. Despite the wide availability of surgical offerings to relieve bladder outlet obstruction such as transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP), and prostatectomy, many patients still suffer from persistent LUTS after undergoing these. A study describing postoperative outcomes following HoLEP revealed that patients with severe lower urinary tract symptoms, storage-positive sub-score, and high maximum urinary flow rate before the surgery were affected by a rebound of mainly storage symptoms 6-8 weeks after HoLEP and prolonged recovery from LUTS with 7.4% of them presenting for persistent urge complaints. Optimizing the management approach for these patients has been limited by lack of high level evidence-based recommendations and expert consensus. Intravesical botox injections are well-established therapeutic options for several urinary disorders. The current practice offers intravesical botox injections to patients who suffer from persistent urinary symptoms few months after their BPH procedure. This study aims to evaluate if giving botox injections at the time of the HoLEP surgery would yield a better outcome than performing the two procedures separately at different times (few months apart). The concomitant use of botox injection during bladder de-obstructing procedures has been previously studied in TURP and have showed a significant reduction of incontinence episodes and OAB symptoms in the group that were treated with botox injections after 36 weeks post TURP. This data may suggest promising potential of this intervention in managing persistent OAB symptoms in patients with BOO. However, the efficacy of combining HoLEP and bladder Botox injections has not been systematically studied and evaluated. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of intravesical Botox injections on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) when administered during HoLEP surgery in patients with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and overactive bladder symptoms (OAB). The investigators are interested in comparing the postoperative outcome in terms of recovery and symptom relief in patients who performed HoLEP surgery with bladder Botox injections versus those who performed HoLEP surgery only at 2 weeks,1 month, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively. The investigators hypothesize that administering bladder botox injections during HoLEP surgery is a combination treatment that will result in faster and more potent symptom relief compared to patients who received only a HoLEP surgery for their obstructive and irritative symptoms.

This trial is comparing the effects and safety in treating men with benign prostatic hyperplasia between high freqnence irreversible electroporation and trans urethral resection prostate.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether prescribing a 3-day course of antibiotics after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) reduces the risk of urinary tract infection. The findings of this trial will have a major impact on clinical practice to either justify the prescription of antibiotics after HoLEP or give urologists more confidence in not prescribing antibiotics prophylactically after HoLEP.

This study aims to assess the role of intraprostatic injection of tranexamic acid in decreasing the blood loss during Transurethral resection of the prostate.

The purpose of this study is to compare treatment of sebaceous hyperplasia with pulsed dye laser (PDL) plus neodymium doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser (Nd:YAG) versus erbium doped yttrium aluminum garnet (erbium:YAG) laser versus electrodesiccation and curettage (ED&C). This is a randomized clinical trial. Approximately 18 participants will enrolled. Each participant will have their sebaceous hyperplasia lesions randomized to receive either Erbium:YAG, PDL plus Nd:YAG, or ED&C treatment. Solitary lesions will be randomized to a group, thus, a patient may receive all three treatments, each on different lesions. Lesions will be treated twice, 2-6 weeks after the first treatment. Lesion size and count will be measured before treatment and at follow-up 4-12 weeks after the first treatment. This study is a pilot study designed to determine the feasibility of these procedures. Subjects currently living in the Chicago metropolitan area and meet inclusion/exclusion criteria will be considered for enrollment.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the most common childhood hip condition. When caught early, bracing is the most frequently used treatment; however, the brace can disrupt important mother-baby bonding time in the newborn period and present challenges to daily living. In babies with mild DDH, some studies have suggested that their hips may improve naturally as they grow and develop. This study will look at whether careful monitoring can be just as good as bracing for babies diagnosed with mild DDH less than 3 months of age, potentially avoiding unnecessary treatment. This will be the first study to look at this question with babies being treated at different hospitals in seven different countries, so the results will make an impact on children and families worldwide.
