What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

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.
