Summary

This study looked at 120 men who had HoLEP surgery for an enlarged prostate. Researchers wanted to see if bowel problems before surgery made recovery harder. Patients filled out questionnaires about bowel and urinary symptoms before and after surgery. The goal was to learn how bowel health affects recovery speed and complications.
