What this Trial Is About
This observational study focuses on male patients, generally older adults with benign prostatic hyperplasia, who are undergoing Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) surgery. It aims to evaluate how different anesthesia techniques affect the quality of recovery and patient satisfaction. Researchers will compare recovery outcomes for patients receiving general anesthesia, spinal anesthesia, or combined spinal-epidural anesthesia. Patients will undergo HoLEP surgery with one of the three anesthesia methods chosen based on factors like age, other health conditions, surgery duration, and patient preference. Experienced anesthesiologists will apply the anesthesia, and routine monitoring will occur during surgery. After surgery, patients will be observed in the recovery unit before transfer to the ward once stable. The study includes assessments of catheter-related bladder discomfort, postoperative pain, analgesic needs, and satisfaction levels from both patients and surgeons. Participants will complete the Quality of Recovery 40 (QoR-40) questionnaire before surgery and within 24 hours afterward. Researchers will also record patient and surgeon satisfaction using a 5-point scale, pain levels, and analgesic use. These data will be analyzed based on the anesthesia method to understand differences in recovery quality. The study will follow patients through their hospital stay with close monitoring of recovery and satisfaction outcomes.

Your Study Journey
Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
1 visit (in-person)
Duration - Day of surgery
Participants undergo HOLEP surgery with anesthesia methods determined by routine clinical care. They receive routine intraoperative follow-ups, are monitored in the recovery unit, and once stable, transferred to the ward for continued monitoring.
1 visit (in-person on surgery day)
Duration - Up to 24 hours after surgery
Participants are observed for catheter-related bladder discomfort, pain levels, analgesic needs, and satisfaction ratings from both patients and surgeons within 24 hours after surgery. Quality of Recovery (QoR-40) scores are collected preoperatively and postoperatively within 24 hours.
1 visit (in-person within 24 hours postoperative)
