This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.

What is this trial?

This trial compares two surgical approaches for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate that causes urinary problems). One group receives a standard prostate surgery, while the other group receives a modified version designed to preserve ejaculatory function. The study wants to see if the newer technique can relieve urinary symptoms just as well while keeping sexual function intact.

Standard prostate surgery often causes men to lose the ability to ejaculate, which can significantly impact quality of life and relationships. This trial exists to determine whether a surgical modification can solve urinary problems while protecting this important aspect of sexual function.

Do you qualify?

You likely qualify if…

you are a sexually active male with a steady partner
you have been diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia causing lower urinary tract symptoms
you have tried medical treatments for at least 3 months without adequate relief
your prostate is between 40 and 100 cubic centimeters in size
you have normal ejaculatory and erectile function before the surgery

You likely don't qualify if…

you have any existing sexual or ejaculatory dysfunction
you have been diagnosed with or are suspected of having prostate cancer
you have neurological conditions affecting bladder or sexual function
you currently use a catheter or have bladder stones
you have weak bladder muscle contractions

What participation looks like

You will be randomly assigned to receive either the new ejaculation-preserving prostate surgery or the standard surgery. Before and after your procedure, you'll complete questionnaires about your urinary symptoms and sexual function, and have follow-up tests to measure urine flow and bladder emptying. The study team will track your recovery, any complications, and whether you need additional treatment in the future.
