What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at men with urinary retention who need a catheter before having prostate laser surgery (HoLEP, ThuLEP, or ThuFLEP). Researchers want to see if the length of time with a catheter affects how well the surgery works. They will measure changes in urinary symptoms, flow rate, and leftover urine. The goal is to find the best timing for surgery to improve recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP, ThuLEP, or ThuFLEP)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors determine the best timing for prostate laser surgery in men who need a catheter, potentially improving recovery and urinary function.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It looks at past data, not a controlled experiment, so it cannot prove cause and effect.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of adult male patients presenting to the urology departments of multiple tertiary care hospitals (university and research centers) across Turkey. These patients are characterized by symptomatic benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) and require surgical intervention. Specifically, the population includes individuals who are managed with an indwelling urinary catheter due to urinary retention while awaiting laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP, ThuLEP or ThuFLEP).

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Male participants only
