Prostate surgery for men with underactive bladder and blockage
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a prostate surgery (TURP) in men with two bladder problems: a blockage leaving the bladder and a bladder that doesn't contract well. The goal is to see if the surgery can help improve bladder emptying.
