Abstract:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common disease in the elderly population and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is an important method for its management. However, postoperative complications of HoLEP affects the patients' quality of life as well as the outcome of surgery. Based on the ten-year clinical practice and multi-center data analysis, the author puts forward the concept of "postoperative urethral recovery" for BPH patients receiving HoLEP, which involves postoperative pain recovery, urination recovery, urine control recovery, sexual function recovery, and a postoperative recovery system aiming at the acceleration of recovery.
