How lung function changes during prostate laser surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study measures how your lungs work during a minimally invasive prostate procedure called HoLEP. Researchers want to understand breathing changes during surgery to improve safety and comfort for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male and at least 18 years old
- You are scheduled for elective (planned, non-emergency) HoLEP prostate surgery
- You do not have severe lung disease or a history of serious breathing problems
- You do not have chest wall or lung conditions that could affect how a breathing tube works
- You can be safely put to sleep with anesthesia and a breathing tube

This study measures breathing pressure during robot-assisted prostate removal surgery and checks lung function after surgery using ultrasound. It aims to understand how surgery affects your lungs and recovery.
This study looks at whether it's harder to place a breathing tube for people having a specific type of prostate surgery (HoLEP) under general anesthesia. It's trying to find out who might need extra help with their airway during this surgery.
This study tests if warming patients before surgery helps prevent low body temperature during a prostate laser procedure called HoLEP. It could help you stay more comfortable and reduce complications.
This study looks at whether taking dutasteride for at least 6 months before prostate laser surgery affects surgery results and recovery. It includes men having a specific type of prostate surgery called HoLEP.
This study looks at how anxious and scared men feel before two common prostate surgeries: HoLEP and TURP. It aims to better understand these feelings and help patients in the future.
This study measures how much prostate tissue is removed during a minimally invasive laser surgery (HoLEP) and tests whether the amount removed can predict how much your urinary symptoms improve. Understanding this connection may help doctors better predict surgery outcomes for men with urinary problems.
