Effect of Catheter Duration on Prostate Laser Enucleation Surgery Outcomes in Patients With Urinary Retention
Sponsor: Eskişehir Osmangazi University Medicine Faculty Hospital
Summary
Benign Prostatic Obstruction (BPO) is a common condition in aging men that can lead to urinary retention, often requiring the use of an indwelling urinary catheter. While laser enucleation of the prostate (such as HoLEP, ThuLEP or ThuFLEP) is a safe and effective surgical treatment, it is not well understood how the length of time a patient spent with a urethral catheter before surgery affects the final surgical outcomes. By analyzing patient data from multiple centers of the Minimally Invasive Urology Society, this study aims to evaluate the impact of preoperative catheterization duration on functional outcomes.

Interventions
Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP, ThuLEP, ThuFLEP)
Patients undergo endoscopic laser enucleation of the prostate using either Holmium or Thulium laser platforms, depending on the standard equipment and clinical preference of the participating center. The procedure involves the anatomical enucleation of the prostatic adenoma from the surgical capsule, followed by intravesical morcellation of the enucleated tissue. All surgeries are performed by urologists according to established surgical protocols.
