Does miniaturisation improve holmium laser enucleation of prostate outcomes? A meta-analysis of comparative studies
Using smaller resectoscope sheaths in HoLEP reduces urethral dilation rates without compromising procedural efficiency or safety. Larger sheaths had shorter morcellation times. The choice of sheath size should be guided by patient anatomy, surgeon expertise, and procedural requirements. Further large-scale RCTs are needed to confirm long-term outcomes.
