Summary
This study looked at 50 elderly men (over 70) with an enlarged prostate who needed a long-term urinary catheter because surgery wasn't an option. Doctors compared blocking the blood supply to one side of the prostate versus both sides, hoping to remove the catheter. The goal was to see which approach works better at easing symptoms and allowing catheter removal.
