"Iuliu Hatieganu" University of Medicine and Pharmacy Researchers Highlight Research in Urinary Incontinence [Predictive Factors of Transient Urinary Incontinence Following Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP): Single-Center...].

Researchers from "Iuliu Hatieganu" University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Cluj Napoca, Romania, conducted a study to identify predictive factors associated with transient urine incontinence (TUI) following holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). The study included 119 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and 15.96% of them experienced postoperative TUI. Factors such as increased age, prostate volume, preoperative catheterization, high post-void residual volume, longer operative time, and resected tissue weight were found to be independent predictors of TUI. The study concluded that the incidence of TUI following HoLEP was 15.96%, with a recovery rate of 78.94% within three months post-surgery. [Extracted from the article]
