PUL vs TURP in BPH Patients With Urinary Retention
China100 participantsStarted 2025-01-01
Plain-language summary
The study will be a prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing prostatic urethral lift (PUL) versus transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) patients with urinary retention. The primary objective of this study is to compare the catheter-free rates of PUL vs TURP. Secondary objectives include comparison of complications rates, cost effectiveness, patient satisfactory, symptom scores, quality of life measures and urodynamic parameters.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Male patients
* age \>40 years old
* urinary retention who failed trial without catheter
Exclusion Criteria:
* Inability to provide consent OR no guardians or relatives to help provide consent on patient's behalf
* Active urinary tract infection
* Previous surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (i.e., TURP, prostatic urethral lift, etc.)
* Bladder stones
* Urethral strictures or bladder neck contractures
* Prostate size \>100mL
* Solely obstructing median lobe
* Urinary retention not due to obstruction (i.e., Bladder outflow obstruction index \<20 on urodynamic studies)
* Poor detrusor contractility (maximum detrusor pressure \<20cmH2O during voiding phase)
* Anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents that cannot be stopped
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
