First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looks at men with urinary retention who need a catheter before having prostate laser surgery (HoLEP, ThuLEP, or ThuFLEP). Researchers want to see if the length of time with a catheter affects how well the surgery works. They will measure changes in urinary symptoms, flow rate, and leftover urine. The goal is to find the best timing for surgery to improve recovery.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could help doctors determine the best timing for prostate laser surgery in men who need a catheter, potentially improving recovery and urinary function.

What could go wrong
