Rectal Indomethacin to Prevent Catheter Discomfort After Prostate Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special suppository (indomethacin, a pain-relieving medication) placed in the rectum can reduce bladder catheter discomfort after laparoscopic prostate removal surgery. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are having elective (planned) laparoscopic prostate removal surgery under general anesthesia
- You are between 18 and 80 years old

This trial tests whether using lower gas pressure during robotic prostate surgery can reduce pain after the operation. It aims to help men recover more comfortably.
This study compares a low dose of indomethacin (a pain reliever) with the standard dose to see if it works just as well for preventing pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) after an ERCP procedure. It may reduce side effects while still protecting your pancreas.
This study tests whether a rectal suppository of indomethacin (a type of anti-inflammatory) can help prevent complications during a bile duct procedure called ERCP. It's for people who have already had a prior bile duct cut.
This trial is testing whether higher doses of a common anti-inflammatory drug (indomethacin) given as a suppository can better prevent pancreatitis after an ERCP procedure in people who are at high risk for this complication.
This study tests whether two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, can reduce discomfort from a urinary catheter after bladder or prostate surgery. If you are having this type of surgery and need a catheter, this trial may help find a better way to manage that discomfort.
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.
