NCT ID NCT07607990
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a rectal indomethacin suppository given right after surgery can prevent or reduce bladder discomfort caused by a urinary catheter in men undergoing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. About 130 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the suppository or no treatment. Researchers will track discomfort, pain, and side effects for 6 hours after surgery.
