Prostate surgery for weak bladder due to enlarged prostate
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgery called endoscopic enucleation of the prostate for men whose bladder doesn't contract strongly enough to empty (detrusor underactivity or acontractility) due to an enlarged prostate. It aims to see if this procedure can help improve bladder emptying.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a weak bladder muscle that doesn't squeeze hard enough to empty your bladder completely.
- This weak bladder must be caused by a non-nerve problem, like an enlarged prostate blocking urine flow.
- You have not had any other surgery for your enlarged prostate, such as Aquablation, open prostatectomy, or TURP.
- Your bladder problem is not due to a nerve condition like Parkinson's disease or a stroke.
