Propofol vs. sevoflurane for erections during urologic surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two common anesthesia drugs, propofol and sevoflurane, to see which one helps prevent unwanted erections during urologic surgery. It is designed for people having transurethral procedures (like for an enlarged prostate or bladder tumor) who have at least mild erectile function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning to have urologic surgery (on your bladder, prostate, or urethra) using a scope through the urethra.
- Your erectile function score (IIEF-5) is 12 or higher, meaning you have mild or no problems with erections.
- The surgery is expected to take at least 15 minutes.
- You do not have serious conditions that would prevent you from understanding the study (like dementia or severe mental health issues).
- You are not allergic to propofol or sevoflurane (the anesthesia medicines being tested).
- You are not currently in another drug study, and haven't been in one within the last 30 days.
