Retrospective Comparison of Postoperative Outcomes Between Elderly and Non‐Elderly Patients With Benign Prostatic Enlargement Using Holmium Laser Enucleation and Transurethral Vaporization of the Prostate at Multiple High‐Volume Centers
Elderly patients with BPE had relatively worse surgical outcomes, including a higher need for postoperative medications and prolonged catheterization. HoLEP demonstrated a reduction in IPSS regardless of age, and transurethral vaporization did not, although it was associated with a higher rate of intermittent incontinence.
