Predictors of readmission and impact of same-day discharge in holmium laser enucleation of the prostate.

Background: Holmium enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is becoming the gold standard for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Our objective was to identify predictors of 30-day readmission and the impact of same-day discharge after HoLEP.

Methods: Using NSQIP data from 2011 to 2019, we identified men who underwent HoLEP for the treatment of BPH.

A scoping review of ejaculatory dysfunction due to surgical treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia: limitations of available tools for assessment and reporting.

Introduction: Clinicians primarily focus on the presence or absence of anterograde ejaculation following surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Failing to assess dysfunctional ejaculation and associated bother in a granular fashion can underestimate the prevalence and significance of ejaculatory dysfunction in this population.

Objectives: This scoping review provides critical appraisal of existing tools assessing ejaculatory function and associated bother, emphasizing the importance of adequate history-taking, preoperative counseling, and supplemental questions that should be used prior to and after treatment.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Predicts Complications Following Artificial Urinary Sphincter Surgery.

Objective: To assess whether estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) independently predicts adverse outcomes after AUS surgery.

Methods: Using a large national database, we identified adult males who underwent AUS surgery between 2005-2019. To calculate eGFR (ml/min/1.

Patient Engagement With Urologists on Social Media in a Community Practice.

Background Based on the Boston Area Community Health Survey, 52 million adults in the United States will have lower urinary tract symptoms, urine leakage, painful bladder syndrome, and prostatitis, which may parallel the prevalence of cardiovascular disease. In the year 2000, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) accounted for 117,000 emergency department visits and 105,000 hospitalizations. These numbers underscore the burden of urological conditions and highlight the importance of patient education in preventing unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency department visits.
