Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Hyperplasia"

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.

To Evaluate and compare the outcome and coast of ejaculation sparing management of BPH using 3 different techniques: PVP, PKVP and TURP. Ejaculation sparing TURP group is considered the standard control group. Evaluation will be carried out through a prospective randomized powered trial

This study investigated the effectiveness and safety of SoracteLite ™- Trans-Perineal Laser ablation (TPLA) in the treatment of patients with symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) at 6 and 12 months follow-up

Benign prostate obstruction (BPO) can be treated with a range of laser treatments using different laser systems and applications. Transurethral laser treatment is considered to be an alternative treatment to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The latest guidelines of the European Association of Urology recommend 532-nm GreenLight laser vaporisation of the prostate and thulium laser enucleation as alternatives to TURP. For further investigation of the efficacy of GreenLight and thulium laser in treating BPH, the investigators organize a prospective randomised control study. The investigators will enrol 100 patients with BPO, treated with either GreenLight laser or thulium laser prostatectomy, and compare their safety and efficacy.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an enlarged prostate gland from smooth muscle and glandular hyperplasia seen in the aging population with a prevalence of upto 90% in patients in the ninth decade. Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) are the most common presenting symptoms of BPH. Patients are initially evaluated with a complete history and physical exam to rule out other causes of LUTS and assess the severity of LUTS with scoring systems such as the American Urologic Association Symptom Index (AUASI) or the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). Patients with mild or no symptoms are treated with watchful waiting. Surgical procedure such as transurethral resection of the prostate and minimally invasive procedures such as microwave ablation and prostate artery embolization are performed in patients with failed medical management or patients who are not able to tolerate the side effects of the medications. Prostate artery embolization is a safe minimally invasive procedure shown to improve IPSS and quality of life with none or potential risk of minor complications shown in short, intermediate, and long term follow up.

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)

The study is a multicentric randomized control trial with 4-year follow-up comparing perioperative and postoperative outcomes for transurethral plasmakinetic enucleation of prostate(TUKEP) and transurethral resection of prostate(TURP). The investigators recruit patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) as the object of study. TURP is set as control group . Meanwhile TUKEP is set as test group. Six affiliated hospitals will participate in this study. Through analyzing the perioperative and postoperative data between TUKEP group and TURP group, The investigators purpose demonstrating superiority of safety, efficacy and economic benefit in TUKEP group.

Every year in France, more than 60 000 people are operated for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This surgery is accompanied by a change or even a loss of ejaculations externalized what constitutes the main constraint for patients. Empirically, the investigators talk to the patient "retrograde ejaculation" to explain a possible loss of ejaculation. Yet the underlying mechanism of this modification or loss of ejaculation remains completely unknown. Yet the underlying mechanism of this modification or loss of ejaculation remains completely unknown. No study could not determine whether the predominant mechanism was a real retrograde ejaculation or aspermia. Moreover, technical changes are sometimes tempted to preserve antegrade ejaculation but no scientific rationale can not validate.

Investigators hypothesis that arterial embolization of men with symptomatic BPH, analogous to uterine fibroid embolization for women, is safe and effective.

This is a First in Human study to assess the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of the Zenflow Spring System in relieving the symptoms of obstructive Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
