Abstract
- The preliminary experience with 64 patients who have undergone HoLEP combined with intravesical morcellation is presented. The mean preoperative prostate volume was 75.3 cc. The mean laser time was 46.9 minutes and the morcellator time a further 10.5 minutes. A mean total of 35.5 g of tissue was obtained, and 93% of the patients were discharged the day after their surgery without a catheter. The American Urological Association Symptom Score at 1 month was 8.6 and the peak flow rate 23.4 mL/sec. This combination of procedures allows prostate glands of virtually any size to be safely treated transurethrally, and a complete anatomic enucleation of the prostatic adenoma is achieved.
