This prospective randomized controlled study investigates the effect of perioperative music listening on anxiety and postoperative pain in patients undergoing Anatomical Endoscopic Enucleation of the Prostate (AEEP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia. A total of 135 patients were randomized into two parallel groups: 67 patients listened to relaxing instrumental music during the perioperative period, while 68 patients received standard care without music. Anxiety was assessed using the State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) immediately before surgery and 2 hours postoperatively, and pain was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at the postoperative 2nd hour. The study aims to determine whether a simple, non-pharmacological behavioral intervention can improve perioperative patient comfort and recovery outcomes in endoscopic prostate surgery.
