Rezum vs UroLift for Enlarged Prostate (CLEAR Trial)
Trial Summary
The trial protocol does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.
The available research does not provide any data on Rezum or UroLift for treating an enlarged prostate. The studies listed focus on other conditions and treatments, such as pediatric vesicoureteral reflux, upper tract urothelial carcinoma, and prostate cancer-related issues. Therefore, no specific data from these studies can be used to support the effectiveness of Rezum or UroLift for an enlarged prostate.
12345The safety data for Rezum and UroLift treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) indicate that both procedures are minimally invasive and have been evaluated in various studies. Rezum, a water vapor therapy, has shown significant and durable improvements in urinary and sexual function over five years, with low reintervention rates and a safe profile across different patient groups. UroLift, a prostatic urethral lift, maintains higher sexual function scores compared to some other treatments. Both treatments have similar urinary and sexual outcomes at 24 months, with no significant differences in complication rates. Real-world evidence supports the safety and efficacy of Rezum across a broad range of prostate volumes.
678910Yes, both Rezum and UroLift are promising treatments for an enlarged prostate. They are minimally invasive and help improve urinary symptoms. Rezum uses water vapor to treat the prostate, while UroLift lifts and holds the prostate tissue. Both treatments have shown similar improvements in urinary symptoms over time.
