Purpose: We aimed to identify the risk factors for salvage procedure (SP) required for refractory adenomatous tissue resistant to morcellation during holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP).
Methods: Patients who underwent HoLEP between January 2010 and April 2020 at Seoul National University Hospital were analyzed. SPs were defined as cases of conversion to resection of the prostatic tissue using an electrosurgical loop after morcellation or secondary morcellation a few days after surgery or conversion to open cystotomy.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prognostic significance of lymphatic invasion in prostate cancer, particularly its relationship with biochemical recurrence (BCR) rates in patients who underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) with or without pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND).
- Researchers analyzed data from 2,207 patients without PLND and 742 with PLND, finding that lymphatic invasion occurred in 3.5% of patients without lymph node metastasis, while 47.6% of patients with metastasis had lymphatic invasion.
- Results showed that patients with lymphatic invasion had significantly poorer BCR-free survival compared to those without, but there was no notable survival difference between patients with lymphatic invasion and
Objectives: There is no consensus on the management plan for incidental prostate cancer (IPCa) after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). This study aims to investigate the natural course of this disease and suggest appropriate treatment in real clinical practice.
Methods: The medical records of a prospective cohort of patients with LUTS/BPH who underwent HoLEP between July 2008 and December 2020 at Seoul National University Hospital were retrospectively reviewed.
