How catheter duration affects outcomes after laser prostate surgery for urinary retention

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 is a multicenter, prospective observational cohort study coordinated by the Minimally Invasive Urology Society. It will collect standardized preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data from patients undergoing HoLEP, ThuLEP, or ThuFLEP across Turkey. Outcomes include surgical duration, energy parameters, complication rates, and functional measures such as Qmax, IPSS, and post-void residual volume at 3 months. By analyzing catheter duration before surgery, the study aims to clarify how preoperative management may impact recovery and functional success after laser enucleation for BPO-related obstruction.
