Evaluating TURP for men with underactive bladder and urinary obstruction

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP) in men suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and underactive bladder (UAB). It aims to assess clinical and voiding improvements using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and maximum flow rate measurements over a 12-month period. The study addresses the unclear role of prostatic surgery in treating detrusor underactivity, a condition affecting many men with LUTS. By evaluating these outcomes, the study seeks to provide insights into the management of LUTS in this patient population.
