Evaluation of the Effect of Catheter Duration on Prostate Laser Enucleation Surgery Outcomes in Patients With Indwelling Catheters Due to Urinary Retention: A Multicenter Study of the Minimally Invasive Urology Society

This study is designed as a prospective, observational, multicenter, cohort study conducted under the academic coordination of the Minimally Invasive Urology Society. The study will analyze data from multiple participating centers across Turkey. All clinical parameters will be standardized and recorded in a secure, electronic environment. Preoperative data include patient demographics, catheter duration and baseline urinary scores. Intraoperative data focus on surgical duration and energy parameters. Postoperative data track recovery, complication rates according to the Clavien-Dindo classifications and functional outcomes like flow rates (Qmax), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), post-void residual volume (PVR) at 3 months.

By integrating data from diverse clinical settings, this multicenter study aims to establish a clearer understanding of the optimal timing of surgery, ultimately improving clinical decision-making for patients with urinary retention.
