Influence of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate on erectile function: results of a multicentric analysis of 235 patients.

Purpose: Preserved sexual function is one of the endpoints of the surgical management of lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Our aim was to investigate the evolution of erectile function (EF) at 3 and 12 months after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP).

Methods: A multicentric retrospective study was performed including 235 sexually active patients who underwent HoLEP between January 2016 and June 2017.

Evolution of Day-Case Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate Success Rate Over Time.

To describe the evolution of day-case success rate over the years and to identify predictive factors for prolonged hospitalization or readmissions. Retrospective review of all consecutive day-case holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) performed by a single surgeon between January 2013 and February 2019 using a prospective database. Day-case success was defined as discharge within less than 12 hours from admission without any readmission within 48 hours after discharge.

[Partial nephrectomy for renal masses >7cm: Morbidity, oncological and functional outcomes (UroCCR-7 study)].

Objectives: To describe the morbidity, mortality, oncological and functional results of Partial nephrectomy (PN) for the treatment of renal tumors of more than 7cm.

Material And Methods: Thirty-seven partial nephrectomies for tumors larger than 7cm operated in a single center between 1987 and 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The pre, per and postoperative clinico-biological data were collected within the UroCCR database.

Total Preperitoneal Robot-Assisted Kidney Transplantation.

To date, kidney transplant recipients have always undergone open surgery. The type and length of the wound vary, but most commonly, a modified Gibson's incision is made in the lower abdomen for the transplantation. Risk factors for wound complications are well defined in general surgery literature.

[Endoscopic enucleation of the prostate: Indication, technique and results].

Introduction: Laser prostatic enucleation is an increasingly popular technique among surgical urology. It is now gradually becoming a contender for gold standard surgical treatments, trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and open prostatectomy (OP).

Materials And Methods: This study is based on data collected from sources published between June 1995 and June 2017.

Day-Case Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate: Prospective Evaluation of 90 Consecutive Cases.

Purpose: To prospectively assess the feasibility and safety of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) as day-case surgery for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Materials And Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted by a single surgeon between June 2012 and October 2015. Except for patients ineligible for day-case surgery due to unstable cardiovascular disease, all patients with lower urinary tract symptoms presumably due to benign prostatic hyperplasia were consecutively included.

Learning curves and perioperative outcomes after endoscopic enucleation of the prostate: a comparison between GreenLight 532-nm and holmium lasers.

Purpose: To compare the learning curves, perioperative and early functional outcomes after HoLEP and GreenLEP.

Methods: Data from the first 100 consecutive cases treated by GreenLEP and HoLEP by two surgeons were prospectively collected from dedicated databases and analysed retrospectively. En-bloc GreenLEP and two-lobar HoLEP enucleations were conducted using the GreenLight HPS™ 2090 laser and Lumenis™ holmium laser.

Partial nephrectomy versus ablative therapy for the treatment of renal tumors in an imperative setting.

Purpose: To compare partial nephrectomy (PN) and percutaneous ablative therapy (AT) for renal tumor in imperative indication of nephron-sparing technique (NST).

Materials And Methods: Between 2000 and 2015, 284 consecutive patients with a kidney tumor in an imperative indication of NST were retrospectively included in a multicenter study. PN [open (n = 146), laparoscopic (n = 9), or robotic approach (n = 17)] and AT [radiofrequency ablation (n = 104) or cryoablation (n = 8)] were performed for solitary kidney (n = 146), bilateral tumor (n = 78), or chronic kidney disease (CKD) (n = 60).

[Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate as a day case surgery: prospective evaluation of the first 30 patients].

Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) as a day case surgery.

Material And Methods: Observational prospective study including 30 consecutive patients after exclusion of unstable diseases and anticoagulant therapy. Patients were discharged before 8PM and the urinary catheter was removed at home the next morning.
