Holmium Laser Enucleation Of The Prostate (HoLEP) Articles

Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) has been a widely utilized minimally invasive surgical procedure for benign prostate hyperplasia. The current study aimed to compare surgical outcomes and King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) assessment scores following HoLEP between younger men and those aged ≥75 years.

BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - While the number of office-based urologic procedures continues to increase in order to meet the demands of an aging population, this number is offset by a limited number of new urologists entering the workforce.

With the aging of the population, prostate hyperplasia is more and more perplexing to the old men. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of international prostatic symptom score-voiding/storage score ratio (IPSS-V/S), urodynamic examination, intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) and residual urine volume (RUV) on the efficacy of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) before operation.

The reduction of long-term reoperation after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for benign prostate enlargement would minimize the challenge of increased financial costs and optimize patients’ satisfaction.

Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is a new alternative method for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH); however, most surgeons are hesitant to use this new technique due to its steep learning curve.

The Internet has placed considerable information at the disposal of patients, but the sources for credible and accurate information may be difficult for a layperson to discern. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in elderly men can be treated with different surgical interventions.

To evaluate the diagnostic value of a high preoperative PSA level for the detection of incidental prostate cancer (iPCa) in LUTS patients with very large prostates (> 100 cc).

We conducted a retrospective analysis of 1125 men treated for LUTS with holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP).
