Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can prevent postoperative delirium—sudden confusion and disorientation—in older adults after urological surgery. About 220 patients aged 60 and older with prostate or kidney tumors will receive TMS during surgery. Researchers will then check for delirium over the next week using standard assessments.
