Prostate surgery airway risks under the microscope
NCT ID NCT07688954
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examines how often patients have a difficult time placing a breathing tube during prostate surgery called HoLEP. Researchers look back at medical records of 300 patients to find out which factors, such as weight, prostate size, or certain medications, may increase the risk. The goal is to help doctors better prepare for safe airway management in these surgeries.
