Breathing tube difficulties in HoLEP surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older
- You are scheduled for elective (planned) HoLEP surgery, not an emergency
- You will receive general anesthesia (completely asleep) during the surgery
- You have no known serious airway abnormalities
- You have not had a tracheostomy in the past

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.
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 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.
This trial compares different anesthesia methods to see which helps patients recover better after HOLEP surgery for an enlarged prostate. Results could help choose the best anesthesia for future patients.
This trial tests a new tool (the Beacon Platform) that helps doctors perform a type of laser surgery for an enlarged prostate, called HoLEP. The goal is to see if it makes the surgery easier and more effective, which could help you urinate better.
This study is testing a new scoring system to help doctors predict if placing a breathing tube or giving oxygen through a mask will be difficult. It includes adults having general anesthesia for stomach or bone surgery.
