Summary

This study looked at 120 men who had prostate surgery (HoLEP) for an enlarged prostate. Researchers wanted to see if having bowel problems before surgery made recovery harder. They used simple questionnaires to measure bowel function and tracked how well patients recovered after surgery. The goal is to help doctors better prepare patients for a smoother recovery.
