Thinking and confusion after prostate surgery in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how older adults' thinking and memory may change after a common prostate surgery, and whether some patients become confused or delirious afterward. It may help doctors understand who is at risk for these problems.
