Researchers from Gyeongsang National University Report New Studies and Findings in the Area of Prostatic Hyperplasia (Clinical Outcome and Safety of Holmium Laser Prostate Enucleation After Transrectal Prostate Biopsies for Benign Prostatic...).

Researchers from Gyeongsang National University in JinJu, South Korea, conducted a study to evaluate the clinical outcome and safety of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) following transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TR biopsy) for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia. The study analyzed data from 556 patients who underwent HoLEP between 2014 and 2021. The researchers found that the perioperative parameters, safety, and functional outcomes were comparable between the group that underwent TR biopsy and the control group that did not. The study concluded that postoperative complications were not significantly different between the two groups. [Extracted from the article]
