Prostate surgery study for urinary retention
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
