Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

1.0K
Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Summary

Endoscopic prostate enucleation advances BPH treatment. Holmium laser enucleation has the most evidence, but new energy sources require further study for long-term benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) management has evolved.
  • Endoscopic enucleation represents a leading surgical approach for BPH.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current and emerging endoscopic enucleation techniques for BPH.
  • To update on modalities in use and under investigation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on endoscopic prostate enucleation.
  • Analysis of various energy modalities including laser and electrosurgery.

Main Results:

  • A shift towards laser enucleation, particularly bipolar techniques, is observed.
  • Holmium laser enucleation possesses the most extensive randomized trial evidence and longest follow-up.
  • Interest is growing in utilizing laser advantages over traditional electrosurgery.

Conclusions:

  • Further randomized trials with extended follow-up are needed.
  • Comparative studies should assess non-holmium energy sources against holmium laser.
  • Key areas for comparison include enucleation efficiency (speed, ease, hemostasis) and long-term durability (over a decade).
