HoLEP: Learning Curve Analysis and Comparison With TURP

This study evaluates the outcomes of Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) during both the learning and expert phases compared to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) in managing benign prostatic obstruction (BPO)-related lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). A prospective analysis of 200 men was conducted, dividing them into three groups: TURP (n=100), HoLEP during the learning curve (n=50), and HoLEP post-learning curve (n=50). Key outcomes assessed included the learning curve, perioperative safety, efficacy, functional recovery (IPSS, QoL, Qmax, PVR), surgical efficiency, and complication rates.
