Effect of urinary retention on the surgical outcome of holmium laser enucleation of the benign prostatic hyperplasia.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the effect of urinary retention (UR) on holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms.

Materials and methods

A retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort of patients who underwent HoLEP between January 2010 and December 2016 was performed. The perioperative factors, including the International Prostate Symptom Score, Overactive Bladder Symptom Score, prostate-specific antigen, urodynamic study results, uroflowmetry results, transrectal ultrasound prostate volume, operative time, morcellation time, enucleation weight, and complications, were evaluated. Postoperative evaluation was performed at 2, 3, and 6 months.

Results

Overall, 903 patients were identified
