Warming before prostate laser surgery to prevent low body temperature
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether warming the body before surgery helps keep your body temperature stable during a prostate procedure called HoLEP, which is done with a laser under general anesthesia. If you are having this surgery, the results may help prevent chills or complications from getting too cold during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
