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.
Who can take part
- You are having elective (planned) laparoscopic prostate removal surgery under general anesthesia
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You are in good enough health for surgery (ASA Class I–III, meaning no severe heart or lung disease)
- You do not have bladder problems like frequent urination, neurogenic bladder, or urinary obstruction
- You have not had pelvic organ or spine surgery that affects bladder function
- You weigh within a healthy range (BMI between 18 and 28 kg/m²)

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 dose of indomethacin (an anti-inflammatory drug) can help prevent complications after an ERCP. It is for people who have already had a sphincterotomy and are having another ERCP to treat bile duct issues.
This study tests giving indomethacin (a type of anti-inflammatory medicine) through the rectum in different doses to people having an ERCP (a procedure to look at bile and pancreas tubes), aiming to prevent a common complication called post-ERCP pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). You may join if you are at high risk for this complication and meet the other health requirements.
This study tests whether adding ice water irrigation to standard rectal indomethacin reduces the risk of inflammation of the pancreas after ERCP, a procedure that examines the bile and pancreatic ducts. It may help prevent a painful 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.
