An Outcomes Comparison Between Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate, Open Simple Prostatectomy, and Robotic Simple Prostatectomy for Large Gland Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy

Incidence and management of BPH surgery-related urethral stricture: Results from a large U.S. database

“…This disparity may be attributed to the laparoscopic system's advantages, which include superior visualization and precision during bladder neck reconstruction [31]- [33]. Such enhancements not only help in minimizing undue stress and traction from stitches on urethral tissues, but may also contribute to better bleeding control, ultimately leading to a shorter catheterization time [34], [35].…”

High-power holmium laser versus thulium fiber laser for endoscopic enucleation of the prostate in patients with glands larger than 80 ml: Results from the Prostate Endoscopic EnucLeation study group

“… 1 In large (>80 cc) and very large prostates (>100 cc), EEP and in particular holmium laser (HL) enucleation of the prostate, 2 has showed lower rates of postoperative catheterization and hospital stay, and complications with excellent functional outcomes as compared with open simple prostatectomy. 3 , 4 , 5 …”

Incidence of complications and urinary incontinence following endoscopic enucleation of the prostate in men with a prostate volume of 80 ml and above: results from a multicenter, real-world experience of 2512 patients

“…EEP, particularly holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), is touted as a size-independent procedure with a low morbidity rate [ 2 ]. In large (80–150 ml) [ 3 ] and very large prostates (> 150/200 ml) [ 4 , 5 ], HoLEP showed an acceptable rate of complications with excellent functional outcomes. Nevertheless, postoperative urinary incontinence is one of the most concerning complications that affect the quality of life for patients undergoing surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia [ 6 ].…”
