This study details the holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) procedure. It covers all aspects from pre-operative care to post-operative management and provides a technical guide for performing HoLEP.

Area of Science:

Urology
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Laser Technology in Medicine

Background:

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men.
Traditional BPH treatments can have limitations and side effects.
Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) offers a minimally invasive surgical option.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a comprehensive description of the holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) procedure.
To detail the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative management associated with HoLEP.
To offer a thorough technical guide for the surgical technique of HoLEP.

Main Methods:

Detailed description of the holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) technique.
Inclusion of preoperative patient assessment and preparation.

Keywords:

Benign prostatic hyperplasia Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate Laser surgery Lower urinary tract symptoms
