Prostate Surgery Outcomes in Weak Bladder Muscle
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.

This trial tests a surgery called endoscopic enucleation of the prostate for men whose bladder doesn't contract strongly enough to empty (detrusor underactivity or acontractility) due to an enlarged prostate. It aims to see if this procedure can help improve bladder emptying.
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 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 study is building a tool to predict how well a surgery called TURP (a procedure to remove part of the prostate) works for men with an enlarged prostate. It may help you and your doctor decide if TURP is a good option for your symptoms.
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 compares two surgical techniques for enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) to see which one works better and how satisfied patients are afterward. If you have moderate prostate enlargement and urinary symptoms, this trial might help improve your treatment.
