研究目的
To critically assess the efficacy and risks associated with performing holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) on glands ≥ 200?cc.
研究成果
Holmium laser enucleation for prostate glands volume > 200?cc is feasible with minimal morbidity. These data further reinforce the size independence success of this procedure for BPH.
研究不足
The main limitation of this study is the retrospective data analysis. Additionally, the sample size in the > 300?g group is small, which may have affected the outcomes.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A prospective maintained database was used to include all consecutive BPH patients with gland size ≥ 200?cc who underwent HoLEP.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Patients were selected based on preoperative gland size ≥ 200?cc, with data collected on preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative outcomes, and complications.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A 100-W or 120-W holmium:yttrium–aluminum–garnet laser platform with a 550-micron end-fire laser fiber laser apparatus was used. Morcellation was performed with the VersaCut? and Piranha? morcellators.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
HoLEP procedures were performed by a single supervising surgeon with resident and fellow participation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Subgroup analysis was performed comparing prostate size 200–299?cc versus glands greater than 300?cc. Univariate analysis using Kruskal–Wallis and Fisher exact test was performed to compare the two groups.
