This trial compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (numbing the lower body) versus general (being fully asleep)—for people having a specific kidney stone removal procedure lying on their back. The goal is to see which one works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial tests different ways to manage pain during and after urologic surgery to help you recover faster and with less discomfort. It compares several pain relief methods, such as epidural blocks and IV pain pumps, to find what works best.
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (numbing the lower body) versus general (putting you to sleep)—for men having prostate surgery to treat benign enlargement. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for this procedure.
This study compares different types of anesthesia (numbing methods) used during a minimally invasive laser surgery to treat an enlarged prostate that's causing urinary problems. The goal is to see which anesthesia approach leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
This trial compares two medications given during surgery to see which provides better pain relief afterward. If you are scheduled for urethral reconstruction, you may be able to join.
This trial tests two ways to manage pain during and after surgery to fix hypospadias (a condition where the urinary opening is not at the tip of the penis). One method uses a shot of numbing medicine near the tailbone (caudal block) and the other uses local numbing medicine at the surgical site. The study helps find which approach works better for young children.
