Robotic Assisted Simple Prostatectomy versus Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate for Patients with Huge Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

“…These results indicate that HoLEP after PAE is an effective and safe treatment for patients with extremely enlarged prostate. At our center, we performed preoperative PAE on large size BPH patients to reduce volume [ 18 20 ]. Preoperative PAE has several advantages, including less bothersome LUTS, less bleeding, a low incidence of complications during and after surgery, and positive therapeutic effects [ 18 19 20 21 ].…”
