Can bladder weakness predict prostate surgery success?
NCT ID NCT07596537
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at men over 50 with an enlarged prostate who cannot empty their bladder and need a catheter. They will all have a standard surgery called TURP to remove part of the prostate. Researchers want to see if those with weak bladder muscles (detrusor underactivity) are less likely to urinate normally after surgery compared to those with normal bladder strength. The goal is to better understand who benefits most from this operation.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) procedure
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors predict which men with an enlarged prostate and chronic urinary retention will regain the ability to urinate normally after TURP surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not test a new therapy, and results may not apply to all patients. The study is small (90 participants) and has not yet started recruiting.
