What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying how the length of time men with Benign Prostatic Obstruction (BPO) and urinary retention spend with a urethral catheter before undergoing laser enucleation of the prostate affects their surgical outcomes. This observational multicenter study, coordinated by the Minimally Invasive Urology Society, collects data from several centers in Turkey to better understand the impact of catheter duration on recovery and function after surgery. Participants undergo laser enucleation of the prostate using Holmium or Thulium laser techniques such as HoLEP, ThuLEP, or ThuFLEP. They are categorized into groups based on whether they had short-term or long-term catheter use before surgery. The study records standardized clinical data including catheter duration, surgical details, and postoperative recovery. Participants provide demographic and baseline urinary health information before surgery and are followed for three months after the procedure. Researchers assess symptom changes using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), measure peak urinary flow rate (Qmax), and evaluate post-void residual urine volume (PVR). They also monitor complication rates using the Clavien-Dindo classification to understand surgical safety and effectiveness over time.
