Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older scheduled for HoLEP who speak English, can provide informed consent, and are willing to complete baseline and follow-up surveys are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are non-English speakers, unable to consent or complete surveys, or who do not have a prostate are not eligible and would not be expected to benefit.

What this trial studies
This randomized interventional study will enroll adults scheduled for Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) at three U.S. academic centers. After the procedure, participants will be randomized to watch a scripted educational discharge video or to receive standard discharge care without the video. Investigators will monitor post-operative healthcare utilization such as phone calls, emergency visits, and readmissions and will collect baseline and follow-up surveys. Secondary outcomes include patient satisfaction with discharge education.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the video could lower unnecessary post-discharge calls and visits, increase patient confidence in self-care, and reduce healthcare costs.
How similar studies have gone: Educational discharge materials and videos have reduced post-operative calls and readmissions in other surgical populations, but this approach has been less studied specifically after HoLEP.
