A Prospective Comparative Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Transurethral Thulium Fiber Laser, Holmium Laser and Bipolar Enucleation of Large Sized Prostate

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 5 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study compares the safety and efficacy of three endoscopic enucleation techniques for large prostates (\>100 mL) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): Thulium Fiber Laser Enucleation (ThuFLEP), Holmium Laser Enucleation (HoLEP), and Bipolar Enucleation (B-TUEP). Ninety male patients with severe lower urinary tract symptoms (IPSS ≥20, Qmax ≤10 mL/s) who failed medical therapy will be randomized 1:1:1 into three groups of 30. Primary outcomes include IPSS, quality of life score, maximum flow rate (Qmax), and post-void residual at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Secondary outcomes include operative time, enucleation efficiency, blood loss, catheterization duration, hospital stay, and complication rates assessed by the Clavien-Dindo classification.
