Holmium Laser Enucleation Bipolar Plasmakinetic Enucleation of a Large Volume Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

To compare safety and efficacy of bipolar plasmakinetic enucleation of prostate (BPEP) holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) for management of large benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (>80 g). Patients with failed medical treatment, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) >13, peak urinary flow rate ()<15 mL/s and prostate size ≥80 g were enrolled in this randomized controlled trial from November 2016 to February 2018 and managed by HoLEP (Group A; 33 patients) or BPEP (Group B; 31 patients). Patients on anticoagulants (AC) were not excluded.

Internal versus external ureteric stents for uretero-ileal anastomosis after laparoscopic radical cystectomy with orthotopic neobladder: A prospective comparative study.

Objective: To prospectively compare the use of external ureteric stents with internal JJ stenting of the uretero-ileal anastomosis in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) with a Y-shaped ileal orthotopic neobladder (ON).

Patients And Methods: The study included 69 patients undergoing LRC with ON. Patients were grouped according to the type of uretero-ileal stents used.

Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate: initial report of the first 230 Egyptian cases performed in a single center.

Objectives: To report our experience with the first 230 cases of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) performed in a single center.

Methods: A total of 230 cases of HoLEP were performed between June 2007 and June 2008. Mean age of patients was 69.

Antegrade ureteral stenting during laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty: intraoperative findings and long-term outcome.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the results of antegrade (AG) ureteral stenting with retrograde (RG) stenting during laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty.

Materials And Methods: Between October 2003 and April 2007, a case series of 47 laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasties were done by three surgeons of equal expertise in laparoscopic surgery, where the Double-J ureteral stent was placed by the RG method (RG stenting group) in 15 cases and by the AG method (AG stenting group) in 32 patients. Intraoperative findings and operative data were recorded.
