Article Synopsis
  • This study looked at how safe and effective a laser surgery called HoLEP is for men who still have problems after earlier prostate surgery (TURP).
  • They compared two groups of patients: one group had the earlier surgery and then HoLEP, while the other group did not have the earlier surgery.
  • The results showed that having the earlier surgery didn't make the new laser surgery harder or less effective, meaning HoLEP works well even after TURP.

Purpose: To prospectively investigate the efficacy and safety of high-power (100 W) vs low-power (20 W) laser settings for transurethral laser lithotripsy in the management large vesical calculi (> 4 cm).

Methods: All patients with vesical calculi > 4 cm in the maximum dimension and scheduled for transurethral holmium laser lithotripsy were invited to participate in the study. Every alternate patient was treated with either the low- or high-power laser settings.

Although the prostatic urethral stents are no longer used in the United States for treatment of prostatomegaly, urologists will encounter patients with complications of previously placed permanent prostatic stents. We report two cases of persistent bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) after prostatic stent placement treated with simultaneous holmium laser enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) with endoscopic removal of the prostatic urethral stent using high-power holmium laser. We also reviewed the literature regarding the removal of prostatic stents with holmium laser combined with surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Purpose: To report the results of a randomized controlled trial comparing outcomes between medium power (MP) and high power (HP) laser settings for HoLEPs.

Methods: The primary objective was to compare the enucleation efficiency (EE) of HP- HoLEP (80-100 W) with MP-HoLEP (50 - 60 W). The secondary objectives were to compare treatment efficacy and safety between both groups.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of performing Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for the treatment of bladder outlet obstruction secondary to an enlarged prostate within 6-weeks of a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective review of patients who underwent a HoLEP at our institution, excluding any patients with a confounding urologic history and compared patients who underwent a TRUS-guided 6- or 12-core prostate biopsy, and then underwent a HoLEP within 6 weeks (study group) with all other patients (control group). Our primary outcomes were enucleation efficiency (EE) and perioperative complication rate.

Introduction: Although ureteroscopy (URS) has been established as a viable treatment for stones in obese patients, its safety and success has not been fully elucidated. The current study describes the worldwide prevalence of obesity in patients with urolithiasis and examines trends in URS outcomes, safety, and efficacy.

Methods: This study utilized the Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society (CROES) URS Global Study, which was a prospective, multicenter study including 11,885 patients treated with URS for urinary stones at 1 of 114 urology departments across 32 countries.
