Predictors of Postoperative Urinary Incontinence After Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (<scp>HoLEP</scp>) for Surgeons Early in Their Experience

During the surgeons' HoLEP learning curve, age, and enucleation time were predictive of the recovery of continence. Enucleation time under 100 min predicted a faster rate of continence recovery. The relationship between enucleation time and continence recovery may be demonstrative of case difficulty or may be a result of pressure on the external urethral sphincter during enucleation. These findings further our understanding of HoLEP outcomes early in a surgeon's learning curve.
