Abstract
AbstractIntroductionHolmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) is an effective and safe surgery for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. However, some patients exhibit postoperative urinary incontinence. Here, we compared surgical outcomes and incidence of stress urinary incontinence between HoLEP with and without anterior prostatic urethral mucosa preservation (APUMP).MethodsAll patients in this study underwent HoLEP with APUMP technique (APUMP group) and without APUMP technique (no‐APUMP group). Enucleation weight, enucleation time, max flow rate increase at 3 months, and urinary incontinence rates immediately after catheter removal and at 1 month after surgery were compared between the groups.ResultsIn the APUMP (n = 340) and no‐APUMP (n = 75) groups, the median enucleation weights were 34.5 and 35.0 g, respectively (p = .982). The corresponding median enucleation times were 33.0 and 46.5 min (p < .01), and median max flow rate increases at 1 month were 10.5 and 9.9 mL/s (p = .89). The urinary incontinence rates immediately after catheter removal were 4.1% and 14.7% (p < .01), and were 3.8% and 12.0% (p < .01) at 1 month after surgery.ConclusionHoLEP using the APUMP technique could be performed with a shorter operative time while maintaining efficacy. The incidence of postoperative urinary incontinence could be decreased by APUMP, indicating that such preservation facilitates the maintenance of urinary continence after surgery.
