Factors Associated with Postoperative Urinary Retention After Sigmoid Colon and Rectal Cancer Surgery in Men: The Role of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, Prostate Enlargement, and Tumor Level

This study aimed to evaluate factors independently associated with POUR in male patients undergoing surgery for sigmoid colon or rectal adenocarcinoma, with particular emphasis on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate enlargement, and tumor level.
