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.

This trial compares two ways to remove prostate tissue in men with an enlarged prostate (BPH). It tests if cutting out the tissue (enucleation) works better than shaving it down (resection) to improve urine flow and symptoms.
This study looks at how well a standard prostate surgery (TURP) works in men who have trouble emptying their bladder completely due to an enlarged prostate. It aims to see if the bladder muscle's strength affects the surgery's success.
This trial compares two surgeries for men with an enlarged prostate who have trouble urinating and need a catheter. It helps find out which procedure works better for getting patients back to normal urination.
This trial tests whether removing bladder stones together with prostate surgery improves outcomes for men with an enlarged prostate and bladder stones. It aims to see if doing both at once is better than just removing the stones.
This study looks at men having a standard surgery for an enlarged prostate (TURP) to see how well it works. It helps predict the outcome of the surgery based on your test results and symptoms.
This study compares two common procedures for treating an enlarged prostate, a condition where the prostate grows and blocks urine flow. One procedure removes part of the prostate through the urethra, while the other blocks the blood supply to shrink it.
