About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to identify which preoperative clinical, ultrasound, and uroflowmetry parameters can help predict the success of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in adult male patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The main questions it aims to answer are:
Which preoperative parameters (IPSS, prostate volume, post-void residual urine, Qmax, comorbidities) are associated with successful postoperative outcomes?
Can these parameters be used to develop a non-invasive calculator to estimate the likelihood of TURP success?
Participants will undergo routine clinical evaluation that is part of standard care, including:
* completion of the IPSS questionnaire * digital rectal examination * ultrasound measurement of prostate volume and residual urine * uroflowmetry (Qmax and voided volume) * standard laboratory testing Eligible participants will then undergo TURP as clinically indicated and return for postoperative assessments of symptom improvement and urinary flow parameters.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in IPSS Score After TURP
Improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms measured by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS - validated questionnaire ranging from 0 to 35 points, where higher scores indicate more severe symptoms) one month after TURP compared to baseline.
Change in Qmax After TURP
Improvement in maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) measured by uroflowmetry after TURP
Change in Post-Void Residual Urine (PVR)
Reduction in ultrasound-measured residual urine after voiding following TURP
Change in Voided Volume on Uroflowmetry
Improvement in total voided volume after TURP
Secondary outcomes
Composite Surgical Success Rate
Proportion of patients achieving predefined surgical success, based on combined improvements in IPSS, Qmax, voided volume, and post-void residual urine
Complication Rate Following TURP
Frequency of postoperative complications categorized using Clavien-Dindo classification of surgical complications ranging from Grade 1 to Grade V (Grade 1 representing minor deviations from the normal postoperative course and Grade V representing patient death)
