Hidden findings: How often does Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) uncover prostate cancer?
In an international HoLEP cohort, de novo PCa was detected in 7.0% of patients, with only 2.3% harboring clinically significant (≥ GG2) disease. Higher proportions of white men, men with ASA 3/4, and higher preoperative mean PSA were observed in iPCa. These data are valuable for appropriate preoperative patient counseling.
