New calculator could predict prostate surgery success before you go under the knife
NCT ID NCT07277556
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will observe 200 men with an enlarged prostate (BPH) who are scheduled for a standard surgery called TURP. Researchers want to find out which simple tests done before surgery—like symptom questionnaires, ultrasound, and urine flow measurements—best predict a good outcome. The goal is to build a free online calculator that helps doctors and patients decide if TURP is likely to work well for them.
