Effect of Catheter Duration on Prostate Laser Enucleation Surgery Outcomes in Patients With Urinary Retention

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Urinary Retention, Benign Prostate Obstruction (BPO)

In brief

Benign Prostatic Obstruction (BPO) is a common condition in aging men that can lead to urinary retention, often requiring the use of an indwelling urinary catheter. While laser enucleation of the prostate (such as HoLEP, ThuLEP or ThuFLEP) is a safe and effective surgical treatment, it is not well understood how the length of time a patient spent with a urethral catheter before surgery affects the final surgical outcomes. By analyzing patient data from multiple centers of the Minimally Invasive Urology Society, this study aims to evaluate the impact of preoperative catheterization duration on functional outcomes.
