Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP) Versus Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) in Elderly Patients: Insights Into Recovery, Complications, and Risk Factors

HoLEP offers significant perioperative benefits over TURP, particularly in shortening recovery times; however, further investigation is required to address the higher rates of dysuria and incontinence. Although the retrospective design and surgeon experience constitute limitations, these findings underscore the need for prospective studies. The results support personalized surgical decision-making, emphasizing patient-specific factors such as body mass index (BMI). These insights may help refine perioperative management and improve collaborative decision-making to enhance outcomes in elderly patients with BPH.

Abstract

HoLEP offers significant perioperative benefits over TURP, particularly in shortening recovery times; however, further investigation is required to address the higher rates of dysuria and incontinence. Although the retrospective design and surgeon experience constitute limitations, these findings underscore the need for prospective studies. The results support personalized surgical decision-making, emphasizing patient-specific factors such as body mass index (BMI). These insights may help refine perioperative management and improve collaborative decision-making to enhance outcomes in elderly patients with BPH.
